Meet Hilary Hickenbottham. She’s an eight-year-old girl who lives in a remote area of Scotland.

Her family are desperately poor, but Hilary has big dreams and adventure in her bones. She’s convinced that there’s more to life, and her search for something more leads her to places she could never have imagined. 

What is the mystical cloud? What is Esporad? And who is King Rhema? 

These questions flood Hilary’s mind. She’s scared, yet excited. Above all, she’s determined to find out more. Along with her friend, Geoff, the adventure begins as a thrilling encounter. The lands they discover are truly spectacular, but finding them does not come without a price.
