He must journey to the treacherous Cut-It-Out Island, across the Deep Blue Sea - and he doesn't even have a boat! Luckily the Captain always loves a bit of a danger, and there's a giant octopus heading their way that seems to be promising just that... As Captain Danger and Django adventure across the sea and through Cut-It-Out Island in search of the stupid shadow, they encounter powerful mermaids, pet sharks, and even a playful dragon! But with all these dangerous and exciting distractions, will the Captain ever find his stupid shadow? Captain Danger and the Stupid Shadow is a laugh-out-loud picture book, perfect for adventurous younger readers. Filled with riotously colorful illustrations, it blends humor and fun with a powerful message about trust and friendship.
