A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Samuel Blink is the hero of this story, but he doesn't know it yet.

Right now, he and his sister, Martha, are in the back of their parents' car. He has no idea that a giant log is about to fall from the sky and change everything. He doesn't know that he and Martha will be forced to move to Norway and eat their Aunt Eda's smelly brown cheese. He hasn't the slightest clue Martha will disappear into the Shadow Forest, full of one-eyed trolls, deadly truth pixies and a witch who steals shadows. A forest ruled by the evil Changemaker.

No. Samuel Blink doesn't know any of this. So don't tell him. It might ruin the book . . .
