Description

A uniquely formatted book about dreams, loneliness, and the universal longing for connection.

Vera and her family live on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, a place that feels like the edge of the world itself. Lukas and his family also say they live on the edge of the world, but their home is thousands of miles away on the coast of Chile. Vera spends her days devouring fantasy books, throwing balls to her dog, and longing for a friend who would care about the treasures she's hidden underneath the alder bush. Lukas spends his days looking for fossils, playing solo games of soccer, and wishing for a friend who would read with him on the best branch of his favorite tree. One evening, both Lukas and Vera head to the beach, blink their flashlights into the dark--and discover that the edge of the world is not such a lonely place after all.

In this playful, perceptive book, acclaimed author-illustrator Anna Desnitskaya shares the mirroring lives of two children in two separate but surprisingly similar settings. As readers flip the book between Vera in Russia and Lukas in Chile, they will learn just how big--and how small--a place the world can be.
