Summary

Atop the highest mountains on Earth lives a plant that feeds on the most perfect sunlight: the Himalayan flower.

To accompany her grandmother, who will soon be returning to the bowels of the Earth, Yuku sets off in search of this flower of eternal light. But to find it, you have to cross the terrible domain of the sewer rats, the meadow of the cruel and voracious ravens, the enchanted forest where you get lost… And, above all, the little Bridge of Fear, guarded by the wolf!
