A New York Times bestseller!

ā€œGuaranteed to enchant young readers. This collaboration by two masters of their craftā€”a Newbery Medalist and a Governor Generalā€™s Literary Award finalistā€”will prove irresistible.ā€ ā€”Booklist (starred review)

Shut up in a trunk by a taciturn old sea captain with a secret, five friendsā€”a king, a wolf, a girl, a boy, and an owlā€”bicker, boast, and comfort one another in the dark. Individually, they dream of song and light, freedom and flight, purpose and glory, but they all agree they are part of a larger story, bound each to each by chance, bonded by the heartā€™s mysteries. When at last their shared fate arrives, landing them on a mantel in a blue room in the home of two little girls, the truth is more astonishing than any of them could have imagined. A beloved author of modern classics draws on her most moving themes with humor, heart, and wisdom in the first of the Norendy Tales, a projected trio of novellas linked by place and mood, each illustrated in black and white by a different virtuoso illustrator. This first tale is one that promises to soothe and strengthen us on our journey, leading us through whatever dark forest we find ourselves in.
