|summary=Quite the most astonishing amalgam of short story and imagery; this book will be just about the most impactful you'll experience all year. Ignore what audiences it's tagged for below – it's unclassifiable, and beyond such flippancies.

'''Shortlisted for the 2015 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal'''
 
''You must find your finder for yourself.'' So says a nurse to Jim, who is lying in hospital, plagued by some unnamed disease and bad dreams. The finder in question will be an animal totem, a frequenter of a nice, safe and loved place in Jim's mind, that will be able to keep him optimistic, hopeful and perhaps even alive throughout the procedures to come. The title gives the name away as to what the lad sees approach him in his fantasies, but there is no clue there as to what ''we'' see approach ''us'' in the fantastic that follows.
