From master storyteller Kate DiCamillo comes an original fairy tale, enchantingly illustrated, in which five puppets confront circumstances beyond their control with patience, cunning and high spirits.
Once, there was a king. And a wolf. And a girl with a shepherd’s crook. And a boy with a bow and arrow. And also, there was an owl... They were puppets, and they were waiting for a story to begin.
In this new work of short fiction by twice winner of the Newbery Medal Kate DiCamillo, exquisitely illustrated in black and white by Governor General Literary Award Finalist Julie Morstad, five puppets who find themselves together in an abandoned trunk are carried off into the adventure of a lifetime.
Author of the Newbery Medal-winning The Tale of Despereaux and the bestselling Because of Winn-Dixie, now a major Hollywood film! Julie Morstad is the illustrator of numerous books for young readers, including Kate DiCamillo's critically acclaimed The Puppets of Spelhorst; House of Dreams: The Life of L. M. Montgomery by Liz Rosenberg; When Green Becomes Tomatoes by Julie Fogliano; and Swan: The Life and Dance of Anna Pavlova by Laurel Snyder. She lives in Vancouver, Canada.
