Synopsis
Alice and her friends have never seen it before. The strange tower that suddenly sticks out of the lake. Through the tower a fantastic and scary world appears. The Realm of the Midnight Sun. Here the sun never rises properly and it is full of speaking animals, incomparable monsters and an ugly bunch of feinds called The Great Spectacle.
The story is a classic fairy tale and then at the same time so much more. It is full of details, wild, unpredictable and full of spookiness. It is the first part of a trilogy of which the second books is already published and the third book will be published in September 2025.
Reviews
"John Kenn Mortensen is like no one else able to bring out the monsters who you had hoped to forget. Those who feed on evil thoughts and live in the cupboard or underneath the bed, but who are perhaps in reality right next to you all the time, without you being able to see them. And he does not only bring them out in the memory but also gives them a face and a body. On top of that, he ends the first book with a major cliffhanger. Then the path is paved for a scorching hot sequel which children from approx. 8 years, who do not let themselves be easily scared, will love." – (Library Review)
