A book for curious nature-loving children of all ages!
Our garden is a very ordinary garden. We know it better than the back of our hands! Or so we thought … until we stumbled upon it. The dent.
When Fern and Robin stumble upon a peculiar dent in the middle of their garden, everything changes. Weevils and millipedes, a mysterious ghost child, an unpredictable statue of a selkie and unhelpful neighbors are just a few of the wonders that surface as the friends take to their shovels.
The dent turns out to be a pond. The newfound pond brings life and joy, but when chaos shows up, things get heated. As the line between curiosity and control starts to blur, the urge for order and dominance puts their friendship to a test. And their lives …
The Pond is a profound and magical tale of curiosity and courage, of order and disorder, but most of all, about the relationships we have with our own species and all the others we share our environment with.
