Lost in Taiwan (A Graphic Novel) wasn't Paul's idea.

The last thing he's interested in is exploring new countries or experiencing anything that might be described as "cultural enrichment." But like it or not, he's stuck with his brother, Theo, for two weeks in Taiwan, a place that—while fascinating to Theo—holds no interest for Paul at all.

While on a short trip to a local electronics store, Paul becomes hopelessly lost in Taiwan's twisting, narrow streets, and he has no choice but to explore this new environment in his quest to find his way back to Theo's apartment.

In an unfamiliar place with no friends—and no GPS!—there's no telling what adventures he could happen upon. And who knows? Maybe it turns out he has friends in Taiwan, after all.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Lost in Taiwan (A Graphic Novel) by Mark Crilley has been praised for its sincere message about expanding cultural horizons, supported by illustrations resembling pencil line art and watercolour washes. It's described as an immersive and cinematic read that captures Taiwan's culture and landscape beautifully, balancing humour with thoughtful reflections on identity. The dialogue between teen characters provides a grounding counterpoint to the playful banter and adventurous narrative.
