Skryf Review
Excellent Book
“An imaginative and fun-filled tale of adventure, this book will interest young people and the young at heart. An important zebu (not a cow), a terrifying Cephalopod, a gardener who is hidden by a huge hat, and every sort of creature from land and sea make up the huge cast of characters.They’re funny and sometimes scary.
Vanamala ‘sells’ her little sister Pingu without really intending to. She then sets out on an adventure through three worlds to rescue her from the terrible Cephalopod. “
