Description

Brimir and Hulda are best friends who live on a small island on a beautiful blue planet where there are only children and no adults. Their planet is wild and at times dangerous, but everything is free, everyone is their friend, and each day is more exciting than the last. One day, a strange adult named Gleesome Goodday arrives with promises of making life more fun with magical inventions like sun-activated flying powder. However, his true intentions are revealed when Hulda and Brimir discover a dark side of the planet with sickly children. They must now convince their friends that Goodday's gifts come at a dangerous cost. A fantastical adventure unfolds in this beautifully told tale that challenges readers of all ages.
