09 LG The Story of Nian (Ebook)

Nian is not human. No one can really tell her what she is or where she came from, but Nian never stops yearning for the feeling of belonging. She lives in the bottom of the ocean with her sea creature friends, but one day she is lured by the lively noises above the surface. And because Nian is as curious as the ocean is deep, she can't help but to go onto land for the first time in her life to meet the humans and discover new things.
