Nuk, Wan, Murdock and Ariel are back. I might have liked this one better than the first. We stay diving into a little more of the personal stories of some of our heroes. And I liked the new animal additions. The sloth was great, and I liked the somewhat subtle hints at the problems that albatrosses face with waste. Another one that I get to hand off to my daughter to read now!
