Book description
Noah is running away from his problems the day he takes the untrodden
path through the forest - or at least that's what he thinks. When he
comes across a very unusual toyshop and meets the even more unusual
toymaker, he's not sure what to expect. But the toymaker has a story
to tell, a story full of adventure, wonder and broken promises. And
Noah travels with him on a journey that will change his life for ever.
A thought-provoking fable from the author of the bestselling Boy
in the Striped Pyjamas.
