What would possibly happen when Little Cap, the mushroom, begins a quest to find his missing pet slug, Gustav? The value of true friendship and valor is on the display in this quirky, wholesome adventure by author-illustrator Andrea Zuill. In the spirit of Knight Owl (Christopher Denise), I'm Not Scared You're Scared (Seth Meyers) and Ozzie & Prince Zebedee (Gela Kalaitzidis), Gustav is Missing feels like an instant classic that charms on every page.

From the author of Sweety comes a heartwarming story of friendship and bravery, featuring a little mushroom who sets off into the scary world to find his missing pet slug.

Oh, no! When mushroom boy Little Cap's pet slug, Gustav, goes missing, Little Cap is beside himself. How can he summon the courage to leave his cozy home to find him? But summon he does. There are many suspicious characters just outside his door and—gasp!—he has to talk to his neighbors, but Little Cap can't be stopped.
