{"product_id":"book-5644","title":"The 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaptain Bluebear is a bear with blue fur, a creature as unique as the fantastic adventures he undergoes. Unlike cats, which have only nine lives, bluebears have twenty-seven. This is fortunate, because our hero is forever avoiding disaster by a paw’s breadth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this remarkable book, Captain Bluebear tells the story of his first thirteen-and-a-half lives spent on the mysterious continent of Zamonia, where intelligence is an infectious disease and water flows uphill, where headless giants roam deserts made of sugar, and where only Captain Bluebear’s courage and ingenuity enable him to escape the dangers that lie in wait for him around every corner. In company with our indomitable hero, we enter a realm of the imagination that combines the fantasy of \u003cem\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Neverending Story\u003c\/em\u003e with the humour of \u003cem\u003eBaron Munchausen\u003c\/em\u003e, and where anything can exist except boredom. It’s a land of imaginative lunacy and supreme adventure, wicked satire and epic fantasy, all mixed together and turned on its head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlayful enough for young adult readers yet as intricate and engaging as any work of literary fiction, \u003cem\u003eThe 13 1\/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear\u003c\/em\u003e has the plot of a novel and the spontaneity and humor of a vintage comic book, making it an instant international cult classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49312100679984,"sku":"BD5644","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49312100811056,"sku":"ZE5644","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49312100843824,"sku":"ZM5644","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/125391-5644-Square.jpg?v=1733298077","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-5644","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
