When a young girl and her brothers step into the ghostly Paradise Sands hotel, they fall under the rule of the mysterious Teller.

Praise for Paradise Sands "Gorgeously illustrated, Paradise Sands is a modern fairy-tale. [...] It's mysterious and each page feels heavy with underlying messages to decode." The Independent "Succinct, carefully chosen text and hauntingly beautiful artwork create a story that demands that its readers return to each page" Kirkus Reviews "Pinfold's stunning illustrations, with majestic animals, stretching landscapes and Charn-like edifices, stayed with me long after I closed the final page." The Bookseller "A stunning, unusual picture book which reads like a traditional fable." Irish Independent "This breathtaking, high concept story can barely be contained in the pages of a humble book. Levi's masterful storytelling transports readers to an entrancing and unsettling adventure [...] A spell-binding work of art." WRD

Rezensionen
"Gorgeously illustrated, Paradise Sands is a modern fairy-tale. [...] It's mysterious and each page feels heavy with underlying messages to decode. While the story isn't particularly long - it will fly by at bedtime - children will get lost in the ghostly tale and cinematic illustrations. 8/10 Prudence Wade 'Children's Book of the Week', the Independent, syndicated in Northern Echo, Dundee Courier, East Anglian Daily Times, Eastern Daily Press, and Dorset Living
