Cloudlanders

A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud fantasy adventure with a unique cast of characters, tonnes of heart, and gasp-inducing moments - perfect for fans of Ben Miller, Tom Fletcher and Terry Pratchett.
An island of magic and mayhem floating above the flooded Earth, Bastion has long been the last country left in the world. Then one day best friends Kurt (an eight-foot mushroom with a fear of heights) and Flicker (a tiny, tough-talking gemstone faerie) stand on the edge of the land and see the impossible: a plane from nowhere is heading straight for them.
Kurt and Flicker join forces with a rag-tag band of friends - including wood-nymph twins (one bounty hunter, one bookworm) and a gruff, shapeshifting wolf - to rescue the pilot and face a dangerous enemy. Can the Cloudlanders save their island from crashing into the Endless Sea and the terrifying tentacles of a massive monster?
