'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.

About the Author
Since he was very little, Jason Pamment has loved to dream up stories of adventures in vibrant worlds filled with strange and wonderful characters. He's a little taller now and lives in his hometown of Adelaide, South Australia with his wonderful wife, darling daughter and playful pooch. Jason's background is in animation, having designed award-winning films, children's television shows, music videos, commercials and video games. Jason's writing takes inspiration from the places and events of his childhood, mixed with elements of mystery and adventure. His debut graphic novel, Treasure in the Lake, is set in picturesque landscapes reminiscent of the rural, mountainous regions of northern Victoria, a place Jason loved to visit as a child. In Ember and the Island of Lost Creatures, he draws from cherished holidays on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Jason's stories speak to our emotionally tricky paths to adulthood, and are interwoven with themes of friendship, resilience and empathy.
