The Notted Island

Beschreibung

A stunningly illustrated middle-grade story of kindness, determination, a night sky salesman and a young girl named Umbertiska Lupp. For a very long time, the world was black and white... Last Island is struggling. Colour has not reached them, their Notte is making mistake after mistake and now an Automated Night Sky salesman has come to town. It's time for Umbertiska Lupp, a young islander with pockets full of cake, to take matters into her own hands and embark on an adventure to bring unity and color to Last Island. This beautiful gold-foiled hardback is filled with breathtaking illustrations that transition from black and white to color, complete with a matching gold ribbon marker. This is the perfect gift for any intrepid young reader.
