Publisher's Note
When Eugene, notoriously negative, wins an all-expenses-paid cruise to Bermuda, his ship sinks and he is stranded on a small island with a smart parrot who teaches Eugene the power of positive thinking.

Industry reviews
"Agee...tightly frames his pleasing compositions in rectangles and circles, and the lines and shapes hang in satisfying balance. With his frown, poor posture and high-water pants, Eugene resembles the Born Loser of the comic strip. But his sarcastic answer to everything may well resonate with readers who are not easily impressed, and an upbeat conclusion that trumpets the power of friendship...."
Publishers Weekly  (07/20/2005)

"With pithy humor and a knack for comic timing, Agee has created a character who will endear himself to readers despite his curmudgeonly exterior and posturing...The cartoon illustrations feature strong lines and soft colors that contrast wonderfully with the story line...This is a perfect read-aloud for older students who are developing an ear for sarcasm and younger children who will enjoy this offbeat adventure."
School Library Journal  (09/01/2005)

"Despite their composition and muted colors, Agee's illustrations are bold and spacious, filling every inch of the page, and the sketchlike lines suggest a narrative constantly in flux. Likewise, his prose style is casual and breezy--all the better to bury his sudden twists."
New York Times Book Review - Daniel Handler (11/13/2005)
