Publisher’s Review 

'A charming story of unexpected friendships and endless wonder.' - TIM PROBERT, creator of Lightfall.

'Stunningly unique' - Books+Publishing.

Fitting in can be hard, especially when you're as small as Ember.He's hoping his luck changes when Lua, a kindly sea turtle, escorts him across the ocean to a school for little creatures on a wondrous island. There, Ember learns that first days can also be hard - especially when they involve fantastical cave-dwellers, ferocious storms and classmates that aren't interested in making friends.

As he struggles to adapt to his school, Ember finds himself at the heart of an otherworldly mystery, facing a strange monster from the deep. And though Ember's classmates may seem of little help, any good student knows appearances can be deceiving - and friendship can come from the most unexpected of places.

'A beautifully drawn coming-of-age adventure story.' - Kazu Kibuishi, creator of Amulet

'A charming tale of mystery and friendship, and an inspiring introduction for young comics creators.' - Shaun Tan, creator of Tales from Outer Suburbia and The Arrival.
