From visionary #1 New York Times bestselling creator and Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick comes his most imaginative and ambitious work to date, a trailblazing new story about the wonders of the natural world! Hello, stars. I thought I heard you calling me. A mysterious voice ha...s been calling to Louise in her dreams. She and her brother Merwin are Sycamore seeds, searching for a safe place to grow. As they sail into the unknown, far from their Mama Tree, they must use their wits and imaginations to navigate a dangerous world--filled with monsters, meteors, and volcanoes!--and the fear of never finding the right conditions to set down roots and become big trees. Meanwhile, the mysterious voice grows louder until Louise realizes what it means: The fate of all life on Earth just might come down to the bravery of these two little seeds. In the spirit of such classics as The Little Prince, Alice in Wonderland, and The Wizard of Oz, with an originality all his own, Selznick creates a vivid world shown from the plants' point of view and rooted entirely in science. A cast of unforgettable characters--from Mushroom Ambassadors and underwater Scientists to a wise Ghost Leaf and the mad King Seaweed--take readers on a moving and mesmerizing journey from the Big Bang to the present day.
