A bewitchingly beautiful, spine-chilling story of courage, friendship
and fears that come alive after dark... Never stay out after
the Switching Hour... never let the outside in... Amaya lives
with her grandmother, her small brother Kaleb and her pet goat
Tao in a land suffering a terrible drought. Every night, the doors
must be locked after twilight, the Switching Hour, because the
drought has awoken Badoko, a creature that snatches people away
to eat their dreams. Three days later, the memory that they existed
is gone from those that knew them, and those that are left are
afflicted with The Sorrow Sickness - a grief which consumes a
person without them knowing why. When Kaleb is taken by Badoko, Amaya
must journey into the terrifying forest to find her brother
before she forgets him.
