Description

The last school bell has rung, and it's finally Home Time: Twelve Days! Even though they're twins, Lily and David don't agree on much...except that the last summer before high school is the perfect time for relaxing with friends.

But their plans for sleepovers, fantasy games, and romance are thrown out the window when the whole gang falls into a river and wakes up in a village of fantastic creatures. Hailed as magical spirits, threatened by lizards, and trained in the mysterious arts of tea-brewing, these kids must find their way home—if they don't throttle each other first.

Featuring a kaleidoscope of art styles, a puzzle-box narrative structure, and a spectacular reimagining of his childhood hometown, Campbell Whyte's astonishing Australian fantasy series is now collected in one volume for the first time.
