Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao – Hardback

Step into a magical world where regrets, memories and life choices can be bought and sold. On a hidden backstreet in Tokyo is a mysterious pawnshop that cannot be found by ordinary customers. Most people see only a cosy ramen restaurant, but those who are lost may discover a place where they can pawn their deepest regrets and most difficult choices.

When Hana Ishikawa becomes the shop's new owner, she discovers that her father has disappeared and the shop's most precious acquisition has been stolen. With the help of a charming young physicist, Hana sets off on an extraordinary journey through a fantastical world of rain puddles, paper cranes, mysterious bridges and a spectacular night market in the clouds.

Part fantasy, part romance and part magical adventure, Water Moon is an imaginative and beautifully atmospheric novel about regret, free will, destiny and the choices that shape our lives.

This is a first edition. Cover artwork contains instructions for the boat that is featured in the book, designed by Nick Robinson.

Perfect for readers who enjoy Studio Ghibli-style fantasy, magical realism, dreamlike adventures and richly imagined worlds.
