"Sometimes bad luck turns good, sometimes junk turns to fortune. And sometimes the opposite happens. Life is full of surprises, as Zeek and his uncle are about to find out." The Cracked Lantern is an original fable following Zeek, a hardworking child who is sent away by his mean-spirited uncle, only to find a dazzling new world where nothing is as expected. The Cracked Lantern is a charming tale of about new perspectives told with beautiful watercolor and ink illustrations.
