Long ago, all living creatures on this land shared a special balance
with one another. The pugulatmu'j--the Little People--were the original
guardians of the land, and they looked after all living things. As time
passed, we forgot these playful yet powerful guardians, but they did not
forget us. Occasionally, they make their presence known with the little
tricks they play.
When her hair clip disappears, Mali is devastated. It was special, made
by her giju'. Her mom thinks she lost it, but Mali knows it was stolen
by the pugulatmu'j.
Soon after, Mali is surprised to meet Puug--and he's wearing her hair
clip. If she helps him find what he needs, she has a chance of getting
it back. As they hunt for the objects on Puug's list, Mali uncovers a
lot of unanswered questions along the way.
Why is there a giant chasing them? Will she really get her hair clip
back? And why is Puug collecting these things anyway?
Join Mali and Puug as they race to keep one step ahead of an ancient
giant in the first volume of this graphic novel series for young
readers.
