"My dad, my dog Danton and I live on a small farm, in a clearing surrounded by a very dense and dark forest.Legend has it that the forest is inhabited by wolves, ogres and giant badgers. No one ever ventures in these woods. But my father doesn’t really believe in those stories. He has always dreamed of knowing what lies beyond the forest." Arthur’s dad has a big idea: build a tower to see what is on the other side of the forest. It’s a plan that will involve a lot of effort. They both work tirelessly, and the villagers do their part. The tower takes shape, and the surprise that awaits them makes it all worth the effort. A wonderful, fascinating and moving book.
