Offering a bounty of illustrations and a host of memorable characters — from an endearing star-nosed mole to an unlikely little warrior with a vendetta — here is a treasure for anyone who has ever wanted to take to the skies and see where fortune blows.

But as he plunges into the dark and dusty places, showing his smarts —- and his soft side —- can he find enough clues to fit together the pieces of this peculiar puzzle?
