Publisher's Synopsis
Punipan never fitted in with the other villagers who work on their farms and tend to animals, and when they go to bed every night under a cosy blanket of soil, they dream of adventures, legends and magic.
But one night, Punipan dreams of a mysterious, ancient creature who warns them of a great danger, and asks Punipan for their help. When Punipan wakes, the sun has been completely blotted out in the sky, and they realise that their entire village could be doomed to darkness forever!
Enlisting the help of their best friend and inventor extraordinaire, Plotino, Punipan finally traverses the walls surrounding Teal and enters the magical and dangerous kingdom over the wall to find a way to bring the sun back. Encountering creatures made from fire, sticky pink lakes that you can eat and the gigantic, ancient Colossi who roam the land, can Punipan work out how to save their home before the sun disappears forever? And will they finally find out where they truly belong?
The village of Teal is surrounded by giant walls that no-one has ever dared to cross... but now that their beautiful home is under threat from a great darkness, Punipan will stop at nothing to save the day.
