By Bill  Willingham 
  Award winning author, Bill Willingham brings us Down the  Mysterly River. Through this tale readers get a glimpse into a world beyond the  pages of a book. This is a suspenseful story about friendship and adventure.  Four unconventional friends meet and take off on a mysterious undertaking. Our  main character Max, one day finds himself in a strange land and with a loss of  memory. He makes friends with a badger named Branderbrock, a black bear named  Walden, a cat named McTavish the Monster. All of these creatures can talk and  have a loss of memory just like Max. They band together to discover who they  are, and why they are here and what they need to do to survive. They face evil  forces, great threats and they persevere.
  I enjoyed the twists and turns in this story, I especially like  the twist at the end and I think you will too.
