Early 90s?Definitely a kids book, heavily illustrated
It's obscure, and is a graphic novel and is for kids and was likely published in the early 90sIt's environmental (a bit heavy handed) and not a series to my knowledge.
the first scene has someone littering, throwing a can from a car and a main character bemoaning the state of the world
Do you remember the illustration style? Colorful, realistic, cartoony, full-page, etc?What time period/location did the story take place?
Anything about the cover?
sadly i remember nothing about the cover.very colorful, fairly realistic, full page comic style I believe
Bud disapears for a while and the rest of the gang is worried, but then he reappears and surprises everyone in their treehouse
the volcano doesnt explode because they all work together
the blond girl maybe skateboards? (i think shes the one who turns into a dolphin)
it was set in a modern (ie. 1990s) world
bumpI am looking for the exact same graphic novel and have been for a long time. At this point most of what I remember might not be very accurate but I think the young woman who turns into a dolphin was named Piper, there was a thing that happened in a Bay which may have been part of the title like 'trouble in dolphin bay' because there were other dolphins doing things. Or none of that is accurate.
btw, everything mentioned by Sara so far here is completely accurate so it is the same exact graphic novel without a doubt
fingers crossed, this has been the longest search ever, i even entertained the idea of just making the g. novels again to the best of my memory in hopes that i would get sued but thus finally finding them
@sara and m.ella Was the book hardcover or paperback? About how many pages? Part of a series?
Did you get this from your school, library, comic book store, etc?
Do you remember any villains?
Was stopping the volcano from erupting the main conflict?
Like Sara said, it was a graphic novel, and the other descriptions she posted so far are accurate as far as i remember. For some reason I keep remembering it being a part of something else, perhaps a board game, a graphic novel off shoot of something. I was (am) really into environmental stuff at that time so I even searched along the lines that it was a Sierra Club/Earth First/etc.. type special edition but I've had no luck.
Did it come from one of those science stores possibly?
TerraTopia. Found it on You Tube.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7IicH...Terratopia - The Graphic Adventure: The First Four Tales
thank you so much, i don't remember it being a cartoon at all and it looks like it was also a board game and the comic book came with ithttps://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/7...
You're welcome. I suspected Terratopia was right but wanted proof of the characters and that You Tube video was the only place I found it. Now hope Sara the OP checks in.
