About

Philo longs for freedom and adventure, and he most certainly gets it when he lands in the strangest of lands: a place where nothing makes sense, a place packed with riddles and paradoxes. Will Philo ever make it home? Will he make sense of the conundrums that litter his path? An addictive, delightfully bamboozling story sure to thrill and intrigue puzzle-loving readers.

Reviews

"A total delight . . . the riddling 21st century heir to The Phantom Tollbooth and Alice in Wonderland - witty, nonsensical, paradoxical and completely charming. Just don't get turned into a teapot . . ."
Piers Torday
"Alice in Wonderland meets Descartes . . . absurdly sophisticated but, above all, very good fun"
The Times, Children's Book of the Week
"Riddles, puzzles and philosophical concepts are seamlessly woven into this hilarious tale, providing plenty of fun and laughter, as well as food for thought. Imaginative and utterly bonkers"
