Review

A story of Robin, Charlie and Ken voyaging in a new adventure exploring Kuching, Sarawak along with Robin’s lovey-dovey parents and their girl friends; Siti and Chloe. It was an enjoyable and light read packed with humour and adventures. Following them embarking in a journey together to explore the nature and the beauty of Sarawak thrilled me! I feel exhilarated and amused by the description of the place they went to, it feels like I am tagging along their memorable adventure. 

My favourite moment of the book is when they visits Semenggoh Wildlife Centre to see Orangutan, a special species that’s in danger of extinction, where their frantic encounter with the Orangutans would end up becoming a crucial aid for them in the end. Another one is when they eat Durian, the most superior King of the Fruit. Seeing Ken changing his immense hatred towards Durian to likeness reminds me of being in the same shoes as him as I was also once a durian-hater haha, but the table has turns now. Also for Charlie, thoughI feel a bit sorry to him for having all the misfortunes befalling him, but since he is the most spoiled and quite a conceited one, it’s good that he learnt his lessons from all the incidents and see them a brighter side. 

Overall, I highly recommend this book to local and international reader who want to know more about the beauty of Sarawak , this book can literally serve as your Sarawak travel itinerary (and also if you enjoy middle-grade graphic novel!). It is a heartwarming story centred around the theme of family-bonding and friendship, along with braveness and loyalty! Can’t wait to see more of Robin, Charlie and Ken’s thrilling adventure in the future.
