A glorious imaginative adventure from Rebecca Cobb, the award-winning illustrator of The Paper Dolls and The Everywhere Bear.

Underneath the cherry tree in our garden there is a little hole. I'm sure there is something down there . . .

When a little boy's ball disappears down a mysterious hole in the garden, he can't stop thinking about what could be down there. Could it be a little mouse's house? The lair of a hungry troll? Or maybe even a dragon's den? Whatever the something is, he is determined to find out!

The Something is a gorgeous, original story full of warmth and the wonder of childhood from Rebecca Cobb, the award-winning creator of Lunchtime and Aunt Amelia.
