The Crack Beneath the Worlds

Even for troublemaker Jerick it is a rare feat to hijack a hot-air balloon. Not to mention dragging little Naomi along, who happens to hate adventures. It's tough luck for her, as a group of fairies actually wraps their dragon-shaped balloon in a cloud and carries it to the ocean of a flat world. There, the children are attacked by armored sailors who mistake the balloon for a real dragon. But if Naomi thinks this is as bad as it can get, she is wrong. Before long, they and the sailors fall off the world's edge and crash into yet another dimension. And this is only the beginning of their journey. A universe of complex schemes unfolds as they move from one mystery to the next, taste death, swim across infinity, and climb the staircase to the very ceiling of existence. All while racing against time. ... A fantasy story rich with symbolism, enthralling for children and thought-provoking for adults.
