Joe Pidge Flips a Lid (Pluto Rocket #2)

Joe Pidge Flips a Lid (Pluto Rocket #2) by Paul Gilligan continues the delightful adventures of Joe Pidge, the king of the neighbourhood, and Pluto Rocket, an alien new to town. The two have become fast friends, with Joe acting as Pluto’s guide on her secret mission to understand what life in the neighbourhood is really like.

On Joe’s tour, where he proudly showcases the best fire escape and the best garbage can in the world, it becomes clear that Joe has never actually ventured beyond his tiny slice of the planet. Pluto encourages Joe to step outside his comfort zone, but Joe stalls by concocting an elaborate list of supplies they’ll need before embarking on their journey. Is Joe Pidge truly afraid of leaving his familiar neighbourhood?

As if stepping out of his comfort zone isn't difficult enough, Joe faces another challenge when his cherished hat goes missing. This trademark piece is vital to his super-flavio look, helping him stand out from the other pigeons. Thankfully, Pluto is ready to help save the day.

The second book in this hilarious graphic novel series, Joe Pidge Flips a Lid (Pluto Rocket #2), offers more engaging escapades from Paul Gilligan, the creator of the syndicated comic strip Pooch Cafe!
