Description

From Treasure in the Lake’s Jason Pamment comes a story of friendship and self-discovery, set in a beautifully illustrated world perfect for fans of Hilda and Over the Garden Wall. The story follows Ember, a tiny boy living in a city of giants, who struggles to fit in. His luck changes when he meets Lua, a kind sea turtle, who takes him across the ocean to a school for small creatures on a mysterious island. There, Ember faces new challenges including bizarre cave-dwellers, ferocious storms, and uninterested classmates. As he adapts to this strange new world, he finds himself at the center of a mystical mystery involving a monster threatening everything he loves. Despite initial appearances, Ember learns that friendship can come from the most unexpected places.
