Illustrated by
Ian McCaughrean.
After his plane crashes, a photographer is found by two children who take him to their village. His camera first frightens then delights the community of locals, who help him decide what to photograph (black-and-white drawings serve as stand-ins for the photographs). The ambiguous ending leaves readers wondering whether the village was real or imagined.
