''A boy and a bear go to sea, equipped with a suitcase, a comic book and ukulele. They are only travelling a short distance and it really shouldn't take too long. But then their boat encounters "unforeseeable anomalies"... Faced with turbulent stormy seas, a terrifying sea monster and the rank remains of The Very Last Sandwich, the odds soon become pitted against our unlikely heroes.''
[[Noah Barleywater Runs Away by John Boyne]] is another slightly surreal fable that is an absolute joy to read. I think you might also like [[Lost Christmas by David Logan]] which makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
