What if your world really turned upside down? Mar and Savina, tired of enduring the burdens of their siblings, decide to run away from home and end up, by magic, at the opposite ends of the world. Literally. In New Zealand they will discover a Maori universe full of magical animals, ancestral rituals and a secret mission that will connect them with their deepest roots. With the help of a giant bird, a mermaid, a flying boy and an iguana with ice spikes, they will realize that returning home can be an even more exciting adventure than running away and also another way to start.
A fascinating and emotional novel about friendship, magic and the bonds that transform us. Because, sometimes, to find yourself… you have to get lost very far away.
