The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Flember is Jamie Smart's illustrated fantasy-comedy franchise about Dev, a young inventor, and Boja, his giant red robot bear, on the strange and magical Flember Island. It is a strong bridge between high-energy comics and longer illustrated chapter books: still packed with jokes, cartoons and expressive chaos, but with more continuous adventure, invention, island mystery and magical stakes than a pure gag series. The series is particularly good for children who like Jamie Smart's comic energy but are ready for a bigger quest shape.
A funny, highly illustrated fantasy-adventure series about invention, island magic and a giant red robot bear.
