Synopsis

"Fantastic, smart, mind-expanding reading!"-Jon Scieszka

A-T-L-A-N-T-I-C! After falling in a well, young dreamer Philemon discovers that each of the letters on a map is actually an island. In this new adventure, he joins his friend, Mr. Bartholomew, on a quest to return to the "A." The Guardian-King of a magical lighthouse sets them off on a ray of light–but it will only hold them until the sun rises! Discover a fantasy world as original as Alice's Wonderland, as richly imagined as Little Nemo's Slumberland, and as exciting to explore as Oz.
