Blagdon, a dismal valley surrounded by an ominous wall of rain which is making Blagdon muddier and more miserable each passing year. For the Eldens, the small and fragile creatures that live there, there seems to be little hope for escape. As the Arvads and Neggons remind them continually, “You can’t get out of Blagdon. Not now, not ever, because there is no way out”.This captivating tell is about one Elden who refuses to believe their lies. Trig’s unrelenting dream of escape from Blagdon propels him and his friends, Slade and Adorabelle into an exciting and terrible adventure.
