Would Wrinkly really be foolish enough to challenge the deadliest predator in the forest? In his world of dreams, Wrinkly Brinkly was fearless and brave. He was able to defeat every adversary by making up for his size with cunning imagination. But the Black Ghost wasn’t just any enemy and he was not an imaginary character in Wrinkly’s fantastical dream. He was very real, the most elusive and deadly predator ever to roam the forest. Feelings of worthlessness, insecurity and the desire for acceptance would drive Wrinkly to try the impossible, and it almost worked. But when his encounter with the Black Ghost ended in a devastating tragedy, his life as he knew it was over. He had progressed from being teased and tormented to being hated. That would have been the end of Wrinkly Brinkly and his story if it were not for a mystical encounter with a new friend. One who would lead him to the truth, help him face his fears and endowed him with supernatural power. In time, Wrinkly was called upon by the elders to rescue the colony. He must once again face the Black Ghost in a life-threatening cataclysmic encounter that will change everything.
