Тринадцатилетняя Айрис живет в маленьком городке и хочет поскорее уехать из него. Ей кажется, что вся жизнь проходит мимо, ведь она мечтает о таинственных открытиях и путешествиях, а единственная достопримечательность здесь — самая большая в мире статуя рыбы. Лучший друг Сэм почему-то совсем не хочет взрослеть, он будто бы создан для скучного Бадена, где совсем ничего не происходит. Но однажды Айрис и Сэм находят странное место: от речки, которая еще недавно журчала, остался тоненький ручеек. Пытаясь разгадать таинственное происшествие, друзья идут по руслу и находят заброшенный город, который, кажется, затерялся во времени. Кто знает,…

From Treasure in the Lake ’s Jason Pamment comes a story of friendship and self-discovery, in a gorgeously illustrated world perfect for fans of Hilda and Over the Garden Wall . Fitting in can be hard, especially when you’re as small as Ember, a tiny boy living alone in a city of giants. But Ember’s luck changes when he meets Lua, a kindly sea turtle, who escorts him across the ocean to a school for little creatures on a wondrous island. ­Here, Ember learns that first days can be hard, too—especially when they involve bizarre, fantastical cave-dwellers, ferocious storms, and classmates that, from the very start, aren’t at all interested in making friends. As he struggles to adapt to this new world, Ember finds himself at the heart of an otherworldly mystery, facing a strange monster from the deep that threatens everything he holds dear. On the surface, Ember’s classmates may seem of little help, but any good student of nature knows appearances can be deceiving—and friendship can come from the most unexpected of places.

Grand adventures stories often begin where you least expect them… Iris knows this because she’s read them all. However, as a thirteen-year-old stuck in the tiny town of Bugden, real adventure seems like a distant dream. But when Iris and her best friend, Sam, stumble upon an unusually dry river on the outskirts of town, they’re led to a discovery beyond anything Iris has ever read a hidden city and a forgotten tale of friendship. In Jason Pamment's middle grade graphic novel debut, perfect for fans of Hilda and This Was Our Pact , can Iris and Sam uncover the truth in time to keep their own friendship afloat, or will history repeat itself and pull them apart forever?
