All his life Wick has been raised in the brutal Harklights Match Factory and Orphanage run by
the monstrous Old Ma Bogey. But when he finds and rescues a tiny baby small enough to fit
inside an acorn he is visited by the Hobs a miniature race of people who are also caretakers
of the forest. They are so grateful to Wick that they offer him the chance of a lifetime - to
escape from Harklights and begin a new life with them in the wild... With stunning writing and
beautiful illustrations Ellis has created an adventure that thrums with an otherwordly magic
all of its own. Harklights is a thought-provoking read about finding your place in the world
and about protecting the things you love which will resonate with readers both young and old.
