An intriguing novel using alternating chapters of graphic novel and regular text, this is a science fiction / fantasy about the world after its destruction. Thelonius the chipmink and 3 friends travel together to reach Fog Mound, a part of earth where the animals talk, live peaceful, happy lives and have a rather advanced civilization compared to many of the warring factions in other parts of the planet.

When he is down at the city of ruins he sees a porcupine. His name is Fitzgerald and he owns a book store. Thelonious and Fitzgerald take his motor scooter. They meet a bear named Olive and they try to take a flying machine but they get attacked by the evil dragon and her evil army. They make it out and now they are trying to get to the fogmound. This book is written with a mix of a real book and a comic book but it is a novel. I recommend this book too people who are looking for a funny book and has some action.

I liked this book because it was really cool how they live where humans use to live there. I think the message to this is that they are trying to uncover earth’s past. I recommend this book to the people who like adventure books.

This is an interesting book for children in elementary school to read on their own time due to the comic drawings that make it a harder read aloud to do with them. This keeps you pulled in thru suspense and action constantly taking place but leads you to wondering just what is going to happen next. Overall a good read.

This book is about a talking chipmunk living after humans. After a flood the chipmunk, Thelonious, is washed out of the untamed forest and into the city of ruins. There he meets Fitzgerald the porcupine and Olive the bear. They try and make it back into the Fog Mound, where the fog is deadly to anyone who tries to get to the mound.

In Thelonious the chipmunks world no one was sure if humans existed. After being washed away from his home Thelonious went on an adventure and was able to find out the truth about humans himself. After meeting some other animals in the City of Ruins he confirms his thoughts plus more.

Great for ages 8-12. A graphic novel set in the future when humans did not exist and animals can talk. Very easy read and the comic style text makes it interesting. It is a great book of adventure.
