Overview

Drabville is a model town, where Milli Klompet lives with her slightly offbeat family and spends her time longing for adventure. Then one day, along with her cautious best friend and amateur geologist, Ernest Perriclof, Milli discovers ‘Hog House’. But the afternoon’s entertainment takes a different turn when they are held prisoner by the wacky Mr. and Mrs. Mayor and a cohort of evil magicians, led by the sinister Aldor.

Aldor is eagerly anticipating the Great Guzzle - a horrifying ceremony during which he plans to swallow the shadows of every citizen in Drabville, absorbing their skills and talents and rendering himself invincible.

Milli and Ernest must evade the Shadow Keepers and outwit the sinister Aldor before the shadows are swallowed and Drabville loses its soul forever.

Editorial Reviews

Adornetto, a teen author and aspiring actress, brings her own work to life in a childlike yet insightful narration. Milli and Ernest are two children living in the town of Drabville who see things a little differently from their family and friends. When they’re kidnapped and pulled into the magical world of Lord Aldor, they do everything they can to free the shadows that were stolen from the residents of Drabville. Adornetto provides an expert reading of her first book—proper and precise yet expressive when it comes to Milli’s view of the world. Adornetto alters her tone just enough to differentiate between the characters without creating unique voices for each of the many characters in this magical tale.
