It is his task to open any bottles found at sea and make sure that the messages are delivered.
One day, a bottle arrives with a party invitation, but no. The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles, who lives alone atop a hill, has a job of the utmost importance. But secretly, he yearns for someone to write a message to him. The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles’ job is to spot message bottles and deliver them to their proper recipients. Agent: Emily van Beek, Folio Literary Management. We read The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles, written by Michelle Cuevas, and illustrated by Erin E. When his boy breaks out and starts to live large, it’s easy to share Smoot’s joy. Smoot’s condition as a shadow parallels the way most humans are tethered to inescapable obligations. The shadow’s change of heart is a bit convenient, but Cuevas’s ( The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles) writing sparkles. When other bored shadows jump at the chance to live out their own suppressed dreams, Smoot must persuade them all to return. One day Smoot comes unstuck from his boy and seizes his new freedom, jumping rope in the park, riding a carousel, and dashing through a landscape of wild splashes of watercolor. To emphasize Smoot’s inky blackness, Smith ( The White Cat and the Monk) keeps the colors bright and contrast high tiled roofs and cobbled streets give the city backdrop a European feel.

Smoot is a shadow attached to a boy whose life is terribly dull: “Every day they brushed the same teeth, frowned the same frown, and drew the same pictures-always staying perfectly inside the lines.” While Smoot’s life is boring, Smith’s ink, brush, and watercolor portraits are anything but.
