An ancient myth looms over a powerful new friendship in this debut middle grade fantasy packed with Hugo Cabret charm.
The City is the only home that Ellie has ever known. She's always been told that there is nothing to see beyond the shores of her small, salty island.
That is, until a mysterious boy washes in with the tide, trapped inside the belly of a whale.
The citizens of the City believe he's ruled by the Enemy--the legendary god who drowned the whole world--come again to cause untold chaos. Only Ellie believes that the boy is innocent.
To save him, Ellie must prove that he's not who they think he is--even if that means revealing her own dangerous secret.
Fans of Wildwood and The Mysterious Benedict Society will be enthralled by this inventive and adventurous take on a modern classic.
這本首部兒童奇幻小說中，古老的神話為一段強而有力的新友誼締造了氛圍，並充滿了《雨果的機械遊戲》的魅力。
「城市」是艾莉(Ellie)唯一熟悉的家。她總是被告知除了她那座鹹鹹的小島外，沒有什麼可看的了。
直到一個神秘男孩被困在一頭鯨魚的肚子裡，隨著潮水沖到海灘上。
城市的居民認為他被「敵人」所支配，這位傳說中曾淹沒整個世界的神祇再次降臨，將帶來無法想像的混亂。只有艾莉相信男孩是無辜的。
為了拯救他，艾莉必須證明他並不是他們所認為的人，即使這意味著揭示她自己的危險秘密。
《荒野之森》和《神秘本篤十字軍團》的粉絲一定會被這部富有想像力和冒險精神的現代經典故事所吸引。
