"“WHAT IS A WISH?”

That is the question the boy must answer for himself as he and his wolf, Cloud, embark on a grand voyage to find the boy’s father and return the wish that was stolen from him. "The Cloud" is a beautiful, and at times, heartbreaking journey of a reluctant hero forced to outwit a cast of colorful characters: a thieving girl, bizarre creatures from the Great Before, and the Mad King. It's a quest of self-discovery where the boy will learn that not all wishes can or should come true.

Fans of Kazu Kibuishi’s Amulet or the beloved children’s fantasy "The Never Ending Story" will delight in "The Cloud." A grand adventure story filled with unexpected allies and enemies alike, "The Cloud" beautifully examines themes of strength, bravery, love, and loss." (From the Publishers).
