You'vereached theage at which people in this family cross
the border into themagical world. It's your turn for an
adventure-yes, it's finally here!So says Haroun to his
younger brother, twelve-year-old Luka. The adventure begins
one beautiful starry night in the land of Alifbay, when
Luka's father, Rashid, falls suddenly into a sleep so deep
that nothing and no one can rouse him. To save him from
slipping away entirely, Luka embarks on a journey through
the world of magic with his loyal companions, Bear, the dog,
and Dog, the bear. Together they encounter a slew of
fantastical creatures, strange allies, and challenging
obstacles along the way-all in the hope of stealing the Fire
of Life, aseemingly impossible and exceedingly treacherous task.
