Tomek’s Journey is a huge bestseller in France and it’s easy to see why.

Young Tomek is a shopkeeper in a quiet little town when he falls head over heels in love and sets out on an extraordinary adventure to find a girl he’s met only once, and whose name he doesn’t know.

In the tradition of the best fairy stories, his search for the girl, who in turn is seeking the legendary River Qjar, rumoured to bestow immortality, brings him new challenges but new friends too. He must travel through a magical forest filled with savage, enormous bears, cross the sea to the Island-That-Isn’t and on still further. There’s much danger, but our overall sense is that Tomek’s innocence and good nature will keep him safe. The tone of this book is unlike anything else in the children’s book world now.

It’s philosophical, profound, yet playful too, and Tomek’s journey is truly eye-opening.
