"Carried in by a strong wind, a tiny creature named Hekla twirls delicately into a crater, falling at the feet--and, very suddenly, into the life--of an old giant named Laki. Each is vastly different from the other: Laki is a solitary being, preferring order and calmness, while Hekla is young, spirited, and messy. But in their newfound state of coexistence, they learn to live together and help each other grow, forging an attachment that binds them in life--and in death. Inspired by two Icelandic volcanoes."--Publisher description.
