After nearly ending up as a bird’s breakfast, a worm named Marcus agrees to be the bird’s navigator, helping him fly from England to Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya. Marcus and Laurence quickly get turned around, leading them to mistake an electrical tower for a more notable landmark (“At the top there were tight wires that connected it to... other Eiffel Towers”), and get captured by a hungry mole, among other mishaps. Lia’s chunky cartoon spot illustrations add to the ample humor of this friendship-focused story, as she lets readers revel in knowing what these two bumbling buddies don’t. “Marcus, it’s like we’re living in a movie that is full of funny coincidences,” reflects Laurence in a zoo they believe to be Kenya. “This is such a great movie.” Ages 7–9. (Feb.)
Marcus is a worm, and a bird named Laurence who looks very much like a chicken is about to eat him for breakfast. So what does Marcus do? He strikes up a conversation, of course! But even after talking his way out of being eaten, Marcus's troubles are just beginning: soon he is clinging to Laurence's neck as the designated navigator on an absurd journey to Kenya, where his feathered companion dreams of finding happiness with other flamingos like himself. The only problem is Marcus can't actually read a map-and this bird is clearly not a flamingo. Will Marcus be able to get them both to Africa...or even manage to survive the day?
