But after a devastating accident, a secret is revealed and Christopher’s world is changed for ever... What follows is a remarkable adventure, as Christopher discovers who he really is, and what it means to be human.
Pinocchio meets The Wizard of Oz with a hint of Northern Lights in this stunning debut from Pádraig Kenny.
