After his dad's boat crashes, Ed finds himself on a strange beach. He meets a girl - headstrong Steff - who doesn't know where they are, either.
As Ed and Steff explore, they discover the deep lore of this new realm. They meet a pack of wolves with a secret and an armoured pangolin called Astolpho, who reveals the only way home involves a dragon who lives at the top of an impossibly tall, rocky spire . . .
Traditional fantasy elements are mixed deliciously with Tom's unique humour and originality, in this breathtaking, heartfelt, utterly immersive story.
Tom Moorhouse is an ecologist and award-winning author. He writes children's fiction, and adult non-fiction and science communication. Between books he works as a freelance conservation scientist (he was formerly Senior Researcher at Oxford University's Zoology Department, where he worked for 20 years). He currently lives in Oxford, where he enjoys the refreshing and perpetual rain. Over the years he has met quite a lot of wildlife. Most of it tried to bite him. He loves hiking up mountains, walking through woods, climbing on rocks and generally being weather-beaten outdoors.
