Lapinski's fantasy adventure series. This shorter standalone story sends Flick and Jonathan suitcase-travelling to Strofadia, a winged world built around three floating mountains, in time for the once-a-century Cloud-Wish Festival. Perfect for fans of portal fantasy and world-hopping adventure, it's an ideal entry point for new readers of the series. About the Book Strofadia is a land of flight and fantasy, where every inhabitant is born with wings and the great floating mountains are revered as the source of extraordinary power. Of the three mountains, the largest is home to the mighty Cloud Dragon, guardian of magic and granter of wishes. Once every hundred years, the people of Strofadia bring their most treasured wishes, held within physical bead-like tokens, to the dragon in the hope they will be granted when it appears at the close of the Cloud-Wish Festival. Flick and Jonathan arrive via their magical suitcase just in time for the celebrations, delighting in exploring Strofadia's cloud-dwelling communities. But as the moons rise and the festival reaches its climax, there is no sign of movement from the mountain, and no sign of the Cloud Dragon at all. With a century's worth of wishes hanging in the balance, Flick and Jonathan must uncover what has happened before Strofadia's hopes are lost forever. Written with Lapinski's trademark warmth, humour and inventive world-building, this fast-paced World Book Day adventure captures everything readers love about the Strangeworlds series in a shorter, accessible format, making it a brilliant introduction for reluctant or younger readers, as well as a treat for existing fans.
