Alon doesn't believe in things he can't see, not fairy tales, not magic, not anything that can't be counted or measured. So when his sister's kitten dashes into the misty empty lot that the grown-ups swear is nothing at all, he marches in to prove it, and comes up empty-handed.
But when Alon stops searching with his eyes and starts looking with wonder, squinting sideways, humming softly, imagining just a little, the mist begins to sparkle, and the glowing towers of Biringan City rise up before him! Can he solve a spirit's riddle, choose the right glowing path, and find his sister's kitten, all while discovering that some of the most magical things are only visible to those who really, truly look?
Inside this Halloween picture book:- A wondrous, gently spooky story with rhythmic, read-aloud text and the chant Look with wonder, not just eyes, the unseen world will then arise!
