On an ordinary summer’s day, eight-year-old Sam suddenly finds himself separated from his family, forgotten at a roadside coffee shop. Where have his mother and stepfather gone?
How is he going to get home?
The little boy sets off on an incredible journey, studded with adventures and unexpected magical encounters. A child from Africa gives Sam a tin ring that leads him to an unlikely wise toad called Kisskiss. And together they manage to trick a malicious childless couple and travel on a flying donkey to a faraway land where a Samurai woman will finally reveal Sam’s fate and the truth about the Swan confraternity.
But Sam will find his way in the world because we all have a star that protects us, even when the sky is cloudy, and we cannot see it.
