Fortunately, The Milk by Neil Gaiman

81SYh4ybu1LThe book I read is called Fortunately,The Milk, by Neil Gaiman. The main character is the dad, they only call him dad and he has no other name. The book is mainly about the dad’s journey of getting milk, but it is much more interesting than it sounds. The book takes place in a bunch of different places. Two of the places are their house and a hot air balloon.

One thing that is really interesting in the  book are the pictures. One interesting picture are the wumpires they are really important they show how they look and what was happening to the dad. They are really detailed and interesting they are always very creative and they tell a lot of the story. The pictures are not something you see everyday because they are so unusual. I also thought that the wumpires were really cool and a little freaky, they eat ‘viggly vorms’! In the picture of the wumpires they are described like creepy and hairy and the little one is kinda cute. But they have buck teeth to very pointy teeth they need to go to the dentist ahh I don’t want to spoil it though. They also meet other cool creatures but you have to read about them so read the book!!! The dad is protective because he always wants to protect the milk for his kid’s cereal and his tea. He is also brave because he goes through crazy experiences and meets many wacky creatures, and he’s not so scared or terrified. He is very adventures because of all the journeys he goes with Professor Steg. He is also happy at the end of the book (I don’t want to spoil anything).

I loved the book so much. It is the best book in the whole world because everything about it is awesome. It is awesome because the pictures and how much wackiness there is and a little bit mysterious at the end. Hope you like it if you read it, I know I did! I recommend this book to everyone because it is so so amazing. Some books that are like this are the Roald Dahl books like The Witches and lots more. They are the same  because of the picture and the story. Out of a 1-5 I would give it 5!

  1. I’m so glad you liked this book. I’ve been trying to get students to read this. Hopefully, others will follow your lead!

    By the way, I think a journey for milk is more than enough of a plot for an amazing adventure! But it sounds like there is so much more to this book.
