This is something different to lighten the mood, an utterly charming cartoon story by a Chinese author and illustrator – which explains why its English language speech bubbles have to be read from right to left.

An insect researcher called *063* sets off to find a rare species of cricket whose chirps sound like jazz, which is why it has been named Duke. If he doesn’t find Duke the *Institute for Studying Extraordinary Creatures* will cut his research funding. 

As *063* travels through a country called *M* in the search for Duke the story subtly introduces many important social and ecological themes that could be an illuminating conversation between an adult and a young person.

Last chance to find Duke is available from [Gosh Comics for £22.50](https://goshlondon.com/last-chance-to-find-duke/?ref=exchange.ca-wn.org) including postage.

Our thanks to Quin Putornpugdee, University of Northampton illustration student, for introducing us to this book.
