In Dorson Plourde’s authorial debut, two brothers seek adventure and change from the sprawling emptiness that is the town they’ve always known. A bag full of fries and the garbage gulls are all they need to make a break for the beach.
With expressive illustrations by Isabella Fassler, two debut creators combine to perfectly capture the mood of a languid summer day. Without access to a beach or summer camp, with only fries and a strip of asphalt, an adventurous duo dream themselves to the sea the only way they can.
When you’re too big for your pond, you find an ocean. The fastest way there is through the clouds…
With curved edges and rusted orange tones, Fassler’s art melts in the heat, while Plourde’s languid text both lulls and delights. The book is a dazzling debut for this author/illustrator duo. -KIRKUS
…a wild and wonderful seasonal tribute to the way that children, left to their own devices during a long summer’s day, can be immensely creative. -Publishers Weekly
Garbage Gulls is a lyrical dream of a summer day, filtered through a particular logic that will enthrall kid readers. I've read and reread this book, and can't shake the wonder of it. The echoes of Garbage Gulls will stay with you long after the last page. -Julie Falatko
Garbage Gulls is a perceptive tale rooted in the expert worldbuilding of children, a story about places you’ve never been and places you can’t leave. -Carter Higgins
