The books

A curious girl, a shy giant, and a village at the bottom of a crater.

The front cover of Lucy and the Polyclops: A Friend in the Forest by Owen Black. Lucy, seen from behind, holds a glowing flower at the mouth of a glowing pink cave, with Mr. Toad, Lady Bird and a broken wooden bridge nearby.

The first book

A Friend in the Forest

Something enormous tiptoes into the village every night. Everyone says it is a monster. Lucy knows better.

The front cover of Lucy and the Polyclops: First Light by Owen Black. Lucy and Bubblegum, in a snowy forest at night, look up at a tiny blue star on the crater rim.

The second book

First Light

High on the crater’s rim, a magical flower blooms at first light. But there is no way up. Not yet.

The third book

Every Light in Penumbra

On the last night of winter, the village floats lanterns down the river. Then something groans in the dark.
