From Alexandra Adornetto comes a whimsical yet dark fantasy adventure filled with imagination, danger, and the fight to protect individuality.

In the dull and orderly town of Drabville, nothing unusual ever happens—at least, that’s how it’s meant to be. But for adventurous Milli Klompet, life feels far too ordinary.

When she and her cautious best friend Ernest stumble upon the mysterious Hog House, they are pulled into a bizarre and dangerous world unlike anything they’ve ever known. Behind its strange façade lies a sinister secret—and a powerful enemy known as the Shadow Thief.

As shadows begin to disappear across the town, taking with them people’s individuality and spirit, Milli and Ernest realise they are the only ones who can stop what’s coming. But facing the Shadow Thief means risking everything in a battle against darkness, control, and fear.

Quirky, imaginative, and full of adventure, this story explores the importance of identity, courage, and standing out in a world that demands conformity.
