Kepler62 The New World 4: The Cave

Kepler62 - Uusi maailma: Luola

Kepler62 The New World 4: The Cave takes readers on an underground adventure!

Life on Kepler62 is no longer safe. The children have discovered weapons manufacteurer Vallvik and unearthed his terrifying plans.

It’s up to Marie to rescue the children, but first she must confront her father who is living in an underground cave beneath a volcano. Marie goes down into the heart of darkness alone and faces countless dangers in the depths of the cave. But she is also on an internal journey: as well as a dad, Marie had a mum and she starts to recall happy memories from her childhood.

In the end, can good triumph evil?

Bestseller authors Timo Parvela (b. 1964) and Bjørn Sortland (b. 1968) continue their award-winning formula of taking it in turns to write books. Illustrator Pasi Pitkänen’s (b. 1984) powerful illustrations of their alien world and its inhabitants complements their storytelling perfectly.

In season two of Kepler62, a motley crew of children and few grown-ups find themselves divided into two camps. Parvela and Sortland focus on the trials and tribulations of one tribe each, with their stories eventually converging as the series progresses. Each book in season two tells a stand-alone story, unlike the continuous story told in the series’ first season. Timo Parvela is the author of books 1, 3 and 5, while Bjorn Sortland is the author of books 2 and 4.
