An atmospheric middle-grade fantasy from a prize-winning author, set in 1914 Valencia - perfect for fans of The Invention of Hugo Cabret
Step into the crowds and join the festivities of the colourful Las Fallas festival in Valencia, 1914. Meet Amparo and Tomas - a girl who is a hawk by day, and a boy who is a panther by night. As dusk and dawn return, they can never meet as human children. But with the help of street-smart Pepe, these unlikely friends have hopes of working together to uncover the mystery of their shared past.
Told alternately with powerful, atmospheric language and immersive full-page illustrations, this fast-paced magical adventure encourages readers to embrace who they are.
