The second Whetherwhy adventure takes us on a magical quest to the very edges of Whetherwhy
At the magical Circus Astra, Sparrow helps his father look after Tangles – miniature tigers, mice with butterfly wings and a peacock made of ice crystals. Always on the move, the circus puts on incredible performances across the land of Whetherwhy under the stern eye of their ringleader Stella.
But after the arrival of a mysterious visitor to one of their performances, Sparrow discovers that he has something the queen of Whetherwhy wants, something she will stop at nothing to get. Sparrow must leave the circus behind and team up with some unexpected friends, as his journey takes him to the very edges of Whetherwhy in search of a way to restore the magical balance of the island.
