Πλέον η ιστορία προχωράει και επίσημα πιο μπροστά από τα γεγονότα της σειράς κι έτσι μου λύθηκαν κάποιες απορίες που έχω από όταν πήγαινα δημοτικό. Αυτό το τρίτο ταξίδι του Απίκου στη Φρουτοπία είναι πολύ μεγαλύτερο και συναρπαστικό από τα δυο προηγούμενα.

Και επιτέλους η ιστορία προχωράει πιο μετά από το σημείο που είχε κοπεί η σειρά. Το μεγαλύτερο παιδικό μου τραύμα θα είναι παρελθόν σε λίγο καιρό.
