A very cutely illustrated graphic novel for children and older readers who enjoy stories about storytelling, dreams, and childhood.
A storyteller grandfather, who is adorable, finds himself in the stories he tells and goes on quests.
Left a lovely feeling afterwards.

Two young kids who are at their grandfather’s house for a little while during the summer is engrossed into his stories of far off lands to save the princesses. After waking up one night and finding a light in his attic, the grandfather is transported in the land his stories are from. He’s thrown directly into the magic and now needs to both find a way back home and save the princesses himself.

I loved how quickly this read and I won’t lie, I love a good older protagonist/hero. The ending tied together and was perfect.

I received an ARC through NetGalley for an honest review.

This is another absolutely wonderful comic aimed at younger (and all aged) readers that I might never have picked up if not through NetGalley ARCs, and again I am truly grateful.

This is what you get if you combine Up with I Hate Fairyland, but make it for kids.

You have a crotchety old man who is getting old and bitter and sick, but has nothing but love, imagination, and stories for his grandchildren. One night he is transported into the magical realm from the stories where he must be the brave knight and face the darkness with the power of friendship and acceptance.

This was adorable and awesome!

The art is incredibly cute and a lot of fun. The writing is solid and the shots to the feels were very much felt and appreciated.

The inversion of the lost one on the land of magic and adventure being the grandad was a fun one and made for a charming riff on the classics.

Blooming marvellous!

Fun comic that recalls <i>UP</i> and <i>The Princess Bride</i>. Little rough around the edges, and could have benefitted from a smoother translation, but sweet.

“The Land of Unfinished Dreams” is a fast-paced, fun middle grade graphic novel with a lot of heart. I absolutely loved the vibrant and colourful art style. The grumpy grandpa was such a great main character, adding just the right touch of humor and charm. The story moves quickly and ends on a really satisfying note. A great read for both kids and grown-up fans of whimsical adventures.

This is a sweet story of a grandpa who finally gets to be the hero in his own story. Although the concept is cute, I did find that the quest he went on wasn't that original. I noticed a continuous pattern of coming across an enemy and then defeating said enemy, which got a little repetitive after some time. I did like the art style and I especially enjoyed the design of the enemies.

Thank you NetGalley and Top Shelf Productions for giving me access to an e-arc for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Grandpa as the hero?! What?!
What an adorable graphic novel. We follow a curmudgeon, grandpa, trying to finish his epic bedtime story but his grandkids keep interrupting with questions and want for details. On their last night, he still doesn’t get to finish it. After going to bed, he wakes up then finds himself portaled into his own story!

This was reminiscent of the movie UP but in more of a fantasy telling. He seems to have forgotten something but he can’t quite place it. Through trials, side quests, meeting new characters…grandpa starts to discover his wall being picked at, and family to help him bring it down. What a sweet story surrounding family and melting a cold heart.
