The Sandwalk Adventures is a graphic novel created by Assistant Professor of Biology at Juniata College, Jay Hosler. It was originally published in 2001 as five comic books and was combined into a single graphic novel in 2003. The Sandwalk Adventures is the tale of follicle mites living in the left eyebrow of Charles Darwin himself. The mites believe Darwin to be a god, one of their creation myths handed down from generation to generation, and he has to set them straight about that and other mite fables. A humorous series of illustrated lessons in natural selection and evolution ensues. Recommended for readers with an interest in real science and a working funny bone. 160 pages of evolution, humor, and science suitable for high schoolers and other intelligent readers.
