Aus dem Klappentext

Samuel Blink is the hero of this story, but he doesn't know it yet. Right now, he and his sister, Martha, are in the back of his parents' car.

He has no idea that a giant log is about to fall from the sky and change his life for ever. He doesn't know that he and Martha will be forced to move to Norway and eat their Aunt Edna's smelly brown cheese. He hasn't the slightest clue Martha will disappear into Shadow Forest. A forest full of one-eyed trolls, the sinister huldre-folk, deadly truth pixies and a witch who steals shadows. A forest ruled by the evil Changemaker. A forest so dangerous that people who enter never return.

No. Samuel Blink doesn't know any of this. So don't tell him. It might ruin the book . . .
