'Gillbert: The Curious Mysterious' with story and art by Art Baltazar is the second installment of the young amphibious boy and his fishy friends.

Gillbert and his friends wake up and realize that it's wake up and do anything day, but first they have to wake up Pearl. Before they get too far along Gillbert's mom tells him he has to babysit his "little" sister Matilda. Anything includes a trip to a fortune teller, some mysterious messages in bottles and meeting new creatures.

I liked this graphic novel for young readers, but maybe not quite as much as the original. The art is still top form for Art Baltazar fans and there are lots of new creatures to see here.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Papercutz and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I really enjoyed the first Gillbert and the second one was just as fun. A cute and quick story that it great for parents to read to young readers.

Okay, so Matilda is adorable and definitely makes life for Gillbert more exciting and difficult.

The whole story is great with some new friends and an adventure none of them saw coming. Art Baltazar found a way to add in the new characters in a way that feels logical and flows with the rest of the story. I hope that there is a third book coming out in the future. I want the story to continue.
