Lulu Atlantis and the Quest for True Blue Love

Patricia Martin

Random House Children's Books, Jan 8, 2008 - Juvenile Fiction - 240 pages

Lulu Atlantis has a big problem: her new baby brother, Sam. With him in the picture, Mother certainly doesn’t need her around. Luckily, she has her best friend, Harry, a top-hat-wearing daddy longlegs spider to turn to. Over the course of four enchanting chapters, the two friends rescue a skunk stuck in a yogurt pot, encounter gangster bakers, seek out the Secret Ingredient to make Sam’s oatmeal edible, and contend with a monster (not to mention an evil cat named Princess Fancy).
Through it all, Harry stands by Lulu Atlantis, his one and only True Blue Love, as she searches–quests!–for some True Blue Love of her own. With irresistible black-and-white chapter-opening art, plus an imaginative story with a classic feel, this is the perfect choice for young middle-grade readers.

Review: Lulu Atlantis and the Quest for True Blue Love

User Review  - Dana - Goodreads

I picked this up because I loved the cover art and the fact that the back said it had "a fancy cat" in it, but was really disappointed. I forced myself to finish just to see what the resolution would be, but will not recommend. I like quirky, but the story was not compelling.
