Overview
This four-book paperback bundle brings together Sheena Dempsey's Pablo and Splash graphic novel series, a laugh-out-loud, comic-style adventure starring an accident-prone boy and his loyal penguin sidekick. Across the set, the pair travel through frosty landscapes, ancient Rome, and a medieval castle quest, tackling wild scrapes with humor, heart, and quick thinking along the way. Bold illustrations and fast, funny panels make these books ideal for young readers building confidence and stamina, while the bonus World Book Day mini adventure adds an extra treat for series fans and reluctant readers alike.
About the Books
Sheena Dempsey's Pablo and Splash series is a vibrant graphic novel adventure built for kids who love comics, jokes, and non-stop action. The set opens with Pablo and Splash, introducing readers to Pablo, an ordinary boy whose ordinary day is upended when he meets Splash, a mischievous penguin with a knack for chaos. Together they stumble through a wildly funny first adventure that establishes the duo's brilliant, chaotic friendship and sets the tone for the whole series: bold comic-style artwork, snappy dialogue, and laugh-out-loud panel-to-panel pacing.
From there, the story expands across two full-length sequels. In Roman Holiday, Pablo and Splash are flung back to Ancient Rome, dodging gladiators and emperors while stumbling into historical mischief at every turn. In Frozen in Time, the pair face a frosty, fast-moving predicament that forces them to think on their feet before time runs out, delivering plenty of penguin-powered humor along the way. Rounding out the set is The Castle Quest, a special World Book Day 2026 mini book that sends Pablo and Splash on a short, punchy medieval adventure packed with castles, quests, and comic chaos.
Each title is designed to be read as a stand-alone story or enjoyed together as a series, with consistent characters, art style, and comic pacing throughout. The blend of visual storytelling and accessible text makes this collection especially useful for reluctant readers, graphic novel fans, and kids transitioning from picture books to longer illustrated fiction, all while keeping the humor and momentum high on every page.
