A very funny and philosophical illustrated chapter book by a
bestselling author/illustrator pair about courage, true friendship
and our most secret wishes, in which a lame duck takes a blind hen
on a goose chase as they search for adventure and answers to some
big questions. A duck spends her days limping around her backyard
with the help of a crutch until one day a blind hen stumbles in,
lost, and persuades the duck to embark on an adventurous journey.
The duck will guide the hen; the hen will steady the duck's wobbly
leg. They leave together for a place where their most secret wishes
will come true. The pair come upon astonishing obstacles along the
way-a wild forest, a cavernous gorge and many differences of
opinion. The hen starts to wish she'd taken a guide dog rather than
a duck! When the two finally arrive at their destination after all
the hardships, they realize that their own backyard plus a little
imagination offers as much adventure as a whole world. From the
author/illustrator pair of Meet at the Ark at Eight "Hub's standout
debut in English... Delightful and deep." Publishers Weekly,
