Luka the Light Chaser

Luka loves to read in bed at night before he falls asleep. But when he gets in trouble and is sent to bed without his reading light, he suddenly discovers his bedroom has transformed into a dark and mysterious cave. Luka becomes the hope of the desperate cave dwellers who've been waiting for the "Light Chaser" to lead them out of darkness and defeat the furry Garbles. But more than anything, Luka wants to get home. In the midst of the shadowy cavern, Luka must find the courage to keep going in spite of his fear. "Luka the Light Chaser" is fast becoming a classic bedtime story and will inspire children and adults alike.
