Book Synopsis

Brace yourself. You are about to dive into the fantastical tale of a precocious girl named Lisa. As she embarks on a quest to save her mother using an enchanted music box that she must learn how to fix, Lisa braves heart-pounding encounters with fantastical creatures. While on the run from malevolent forces that wish to take her down in order to steal her supernatural powers, she unlocks secrets in ancient wisdom, and forges her own identity.

Throughout her adventures, Lisa takes charge of her own coming-of-age and in the process, becomes the heroine of her own journey. Readers daring enough to follow Lisa will become intimately acquainted with the strange beasts of the worlds of the Wandering Mists - the air- and earth-bound Dolphins, the petrifying Riven, the quarrelsome Inside-Out Man, the sinister Acrid, the wild and wondrous Gardener, and even the enchanting Craftsman who is able to fix anything.

"Tales of Wandering Mists is a book for adults as well as younger readers. I thought I would read only the first chapter, but I came to my senses only in the third.

"My mother still reads printed newspapers, and like a dutiful daughter, I must bring her a fresh one every day. I buy and bring each paper, without unfolding it.

"Wonderful fairy tale for children and adults. I think a movie version of your fairy tale would be unparalleled."- Ukrainian reader
