The Yellow Road cover

Sam wakes up in a strange fairytale land of small folk and talking animals, with no idea where he is. How will he get home? "Take the yellow road" says The-One-Who-Knows-Everything.

Equipped with a very useful backpack and an optimistic attitude, Sam travels through fantastical landscapes, encountering giggly giraffes, fearsome trolls, a gruff submarine captain and a magical painting. Sometimes the yellow road disappears entirely. Will Sam ever find his way home?
