Land der Träume

More about the book

Der beste Fantasy-Roman seit Jahren! Der Autor erhielt den »Philip K. Dick Awa als bester Nachwuchsautor. Set in the same world as Blaylock’s award-winning “Paper Dragons,” Land of Dreams takes place in the magical atmosphere of the 12-year Solstice as it comes to a northern California coastal town. When a boat-sized shoe and giant spectacles wash up on shore, three of the town’s orphans—Jack, Skeezix, and Helen—know there’s something fishy going on; and the old ghost in the orphanage attic is inclined to agree. An evil carnival comes to town, run by a sinister gentleman who can turn himself into a crow. A mouse-sized man hiding in the woodwork leaves Jack an elixir that might, just might, allow him to cross during Solstice to another world, a mysterious land of dreams that holds the key to Jack’s past and all their futures.
