“Both exciting and deeply compassionate, it nourishes a young persons inner world while reminding us why people have told stories for thousands of years: to help us navigate challenges, understand one another and imagine a kinder world. This story makes the unknown feel safe, turning uncertainty into a place of wonder and discovery.”

PATH MAKER
In days which time has buried… a very special map was made.
Ruis is launched on a daring journey to a distant island by a vision she can’t shake off. She steals away from the gathering of the two tribes. Old Grandmother sends Daru, her best friend, on a mission to bring Ruis back.
The friends go on different voyages of discovery across land and sea. Each twist and turn brings new challenges.
Will they ever return home to their own island? How will their journeys change them? Will Ruis and Daru ever meet again? What is the extraordinary map that Ruis is trying to create?
