Journey to Tomioka
23.02
For fans of This Was Our Pact and Hayao Miyazaki films comes a breathtaking middle grade fantasy adventure full of wonder and magic.
Osamu hasn't been the same since that day. When the tsunami hit Fukushima prefecture, it killed his parents, destroyed his home, and triggered one of the world's worst nuclear disasters. Now, all Osamu has left is his grandmother, Ba-chan, and his big sister, Akiko. As he withdraws into his own world, he befriends friends yokai-spirits only he can see.
Then, tragedy strikes again, and Ba-chan dies. Osamu and Akiko are determined to return her ashes to their family farm in Tomioka, a town within Fukushima's forbidden zone. There, the siblings will face dangerous radiation and yokai, both friendly and deadly-but they're willing to risk it all to make it home.
