The first book in a trilogy called The Norendy Tales (set to have different illustrators for each book), this volume tells the story of five puppets who know they are in a story together and who will learn what that story is alongside the reader. Kate DiCamillo's writing always carries philosophical depth and an abundance of heart, and Julie Morstad's pencil drawings are textured, moody, and stunning. They are a match made in heaven. Good for kids 7 & up!
