How to draw a good sketch? How do you train your shadow? How can you go in all directions at once, no matter where you go? How do you become a lighthouse? How to catch up slowly? What is happiness?
These questions arise to Hagrid the Hedgehog and Nicosia, who, together with a group of motley heroes, embark on one adventure after another, gradually growing up and discovering that "the world is beautiful, but sometimes quite unattractive".

Peter Svetina (1970) is an associate professor for Slavic literature at the Institute for Slavic languages, Alpen-Adria University, Klagenfurt, Austria. He writes for children, young adults and adults, but his work often crosses the borders between different target audiences and can be read as crossover literature.
