Max and Chaffy is Jamie Smart's younger graphic novel franchise about Max, a child exploring Animal Island, and Chaffy, one of the tiny round creatures hidden around it. The books are bright, sweet, funny and much gentler than Jamie Smart's higher-chaos comics. Each adventure mixes a simple mystery with searching, friendship, cute creature appeal and a safe sense of discovery. It is an excellent early graphic novel step for children who like visual reading, collectibles, maps, animal friends and little quests that never become too scary.
A cute, gentle early graphic novel series about Animal Island, hidden Chaffies, friendship and small colourful mysteries.
