Reach for this book when your child is grappling with a sudden change in family dynamics or feels like they do not quite fit into their current surroundings.

The narrative follows Jarvey Midion, who is thrust into a strange, alternate version of London called Lunnon after his parents disappear and he encounters a magical book.

He must learn to trust a group of street orphans, the Free Folk, while navigating his own loneliness and fear. This book is ideal for ages 8 to 12, offering a safe space to explore themes of abandonment, found family, and the courage required to face an uncertain future. It provides a bridge for parents to talk about how we find our way back to ourselves when life feels unrecognizable.
