Into The Bewilderness

Into The Bewilderness by Gus Gordon is a funny, life-affirming graphic novel that follows two best mates as they test the edges of their small, satisfying world. With its gentle humour, expressive art and big-hearted curiosity, it’s the kind of children’s graphic novel readers fall into and don’t want to leave.

Luis and Pablo spend their days roaming bush tracks, strumming guitar tunes, and happily living off the land. But a niggling question starts to grow for Luis: is good enough really enough? When the bright pull of the big city enters the picture, their friendship—and their idea of what “more” might mean—gets a playful shake-up.

Perfect for middle grade readers who enjoy Australian stories, friendship themes, nature settings, and thoughtful adventures with laughs along the way.
