An enchanting tale of haunting places and mystical bargains, as a young girl makes a deal with the mysterious ruler of Paradise Sands, sumptuously illustrated by Levi Pinfold. Washed clean in his pool, we fall under his rule Away from what is, for we are now his. When a young girl and her brothers step into the ghostly Paradise Sands hotel, they fall under the rule of the mysterious Teller. She makes a deal with him to free them all from his haunting paradise. But can she hold up her side of the bargain? Praise for Paradise Sands “Gorgeously illustrated, Paradise Sands is a modern fairy-tale. […] It’s mysterious and each page feels heavy with underlying messages to decode.” The Independent “Succinct, carefully chosen text and hauntingly beautiful artwork create a story that demands that its readers return to each page” Kirkus Reviews ""Pinfold's stunning illustrations, with majestic animals, stretching landscapes and Charn-like edifices, stayed with me long after I closed the final page."" The Bookseller “A stunning, unusual picture book which reads like a traditional fable.” Irish Independent “This breathtaking, high concept story can barely be contained in the pages of a humble book. Levi’s masterful storytelling transports readers to an entrancing and unsettling adventure […] A spell-binding work of art.” WRD
