Description

Enter a secret wonderland in the sky where Japanese legends come to life.

Twelve-year-old Jonty desperately wants an adventure but he knows it’s unlikely when he’s stuck at home for the entire summer. But then he meets a talking bonobo in the forest at the back of his house who invites him to enter a magical world behind a Japanese Memory gate. There, he will get to collect wild memories from the time his gramps was a famous primatologist … and soon, his adventure begins.

Behind the gate lies a world far more enchanting than back home. In a world filled with mischievous Japanese beings called y?kai, Jonty must battle to collect the memories in a series of hair-raising trials. But there is an evil sky pirate crew on board a ship who are hellbent on destroying the memories for good … and they have bows and arrows.

Can Jonty battle the pirate crew before time runs out and the wadokei watch-clock strikes?

  • Perfect for fans of Studio Ghibli and My Neighbour Totoro, this is a middle-grade fantasy adventure with a future classic feel, that focuses on Japanese folklore.
  • An outstanding and original new voice in children’s fiction.
  • A beautiful cover and inside illustrations by acclaimed Japanese artist Sawa.
