The Whisperwicks: The Labyrinth of Lost and Found

Voices that can talk through cracks and fissures in the walls, macabre realms full of gnarled trees and leather-made dolls. In this story, things that are haunting become a counterpart to the beautiful and are made to draw you into the mystery of it all. Jordan Lees’ tale follows the adventures of Benjamiah, Edwid and Elizabella as they uncover the secrets nestled within the fraying fabric of their two worlds. Wyvern-on-the-Water is interlaced with another world known as Wreathenwold. If the town of Wyvern is full of cottages on the hill and a river beckoning against the shores, then this other world belongs to creaking woods and hollow openings with its whispering shapes drawing you inside. Intriguing characters and serene landscapes come to life in all their whimsy and grimness through Vivienne To’s illustrations. Come wander this darkly, but inviting other world, as it is waiting for you to slip between the woodwork, along with the children, and discover a whole land of people and places that are tethered to our world.
