An Indie Next Pick

"Brimming with magic." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Are you brave? Are you curious? Are you ready for an adventure? Then you are invited on the most magical of journeys.

There are many ways through the woods. Some are long and winding. Some are as quick as a blink. You might encounter griffins, giants, serpents, sprites, and more along the way. Which path will you choose? What will you discover?

This sumptuous celebration of curiosity, imagination, and wonder from two award-winning creators is a timeless treasure for fans of Knight Owl, The Bakery Dragon, Endlessly Ever After, and Journey. A breathtaking and cozy fantasy for all readers-from the youngest to the wisest.
