Bookroo's summary
Moominpappa, seeking adventure, moves his family from their cozy valley to a remote lighthouse island. As they adapt to their new surroundings, they encounter unexpected mysteries and humorous revelations about themselves. Will this change bring the excitement they crave, or will the island's secrets prove too much? Join the Moomin family on a journey of growth and discovery in a place where nothing is as it seems.
From the publisher
Leave Moominvalley? Is it possible? Yes, even the Moomin family need a change of scenery sometimes, so they’re off to live in a lighthouse on a tiny island. Here they find space to grow, and to do things they couldn’t in their comfortable, cluttered valley home. As they discover their new home, the family also discover surprising, and wonderfully funny, new things about themselves.
