[Barkbelly 01] • Barkbelly

One silver-starry night, a shiny, wooden egg falls from a flying machine high

in the air . . . down, down, down through the midnight sky . . . down to the

small village of Pumbleditch, where Barkbelly is born. Where he’s the only

wooden boy. And where he’s the cause of a tragic accident.

Suddenly, Barkbelly’s only choice is to flee for his life— _to run._ As he

tries to escape his haunting past, he faces extraordinary adventures and

dangers. Every wooden step leads Barkbelly toward the dark and startling truth

about where he comes from and the burning question of where he really belongs.

With deliciously imaginative storytelling, Cat Weatherill creates an utterly

magical world—and one wooden boy who’s sure to melt readers’ hearts.
