“Books may well be the only true magic” – Alice Hoffman
Confined to a wheelchair and bullied at school, 11-year-old Finn isn’t having an easy time of it. The only thing he looks forward to are the visits of his Uncle Henry, a globe-trotting photojournalist, who always brings amazing gifts and unbelievable stories of his adventures.
When Henry goes looking for his father’s ship, lost in the Arctic forty years ago, the stories he recounts become increasingly fantastical, straining even Finn’s desire to believe everything his uncle tells him… until he joins in the adventure himself!
Uncle Digit must navigate through a maze of the impossible to find a way to save the world.
Expect aliens, a wise-cracking fox, singing bears, the most powerful device in the universe and some very peculiar snow.
