Kai and Adam, two boys growing up in the community of Siena, venture outside the city into the wastes, and the unknown. Kai, behind the wheel for his first solo trip, seeks adventure, while Adam happily--and somewhat cautiously--goes along for a drive that neither will ever forget. This short story continues Marie Howalt's Moonless series ( We Lost the Sky , Seeking Shelter , and Heart of the Storm ).
Marie Howalt was born and raised in a small North European kingdom called Denmark and started writing stories at the age of 11 after sucking the local library dry of science fiction and fantasy. After graduating from the University of Copenhagen with a master’s degree in English studies and religion, Marie worked as a translator between English and Danish for years before sustaining an injury that caused the condition PCS (Post Concussion Syndrome). Now Marie writes as much as physically possible. The stories are a lot longer and quite a bit more complex than the childhood scribbles, but they still take place in the far future, fantasy worlds or alternate realities. When not writing, Marie enjoys being a cat perch, drawing, reading and bribing imaginary people to tell their stories.
This is so darn adorable snippet to the background characters! These boys have their moments in the moonless series but it's lovely to read just about their little youth getaway. It's a light read, it's a read to enjoy your day, a cute read.
