New York Times Bestseller Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award * Michael L. Printz Medal honour winner

From the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett, author of the beloved and bestselling Discworld fantasy series, comes an epic adventure of survival that mixes hope, humour, and humanity.

When a giant wave destroys his village, Mau is the only one left. Daphne—a traveller from the other side of the globe—is the sole survivor of a shipwreck. Separated by language and customs, the two are united by catastrophe. Slowly, they are joined by other refugees. As they struggle to protect the small band, Mau and Daphne defy ancestral spirits, challenge death himself, and uncover a long-hidden secret that literally turns the world upside down.

Sir Terry also received a prestigious Printz Honour from the American Library Association for his novel Dodger.
