More DescriptionIt's the summer of 1939, and something is terribly wrong on Coney Island. At a time when America needs its favorite playground more than ever, a heavy cloud hangs over the boardwalk, hurting business and more alarmingly, swallowing children without a trace. It is enough to summon the Mermother from her depths to select twelve-year-old Buff as Coney Island's champion.As a graduate of the Original Incubator Baby Pavilion, Coney Island's oldest attraction, Buff is uniquely qualified to hatch the mysterious egg that holds the famous park's future. But first he must reckon with the Commissioner, the powerful man who is determined to lay waste to the legendary park in order to build his own "World of Tomorrow." And he must convince his carny community to believe in the future to preserve the past. Only then will the miasma that holds their home in thrall disperse. Only then will hope - and the lost children - return to Coney Island.Limited full color edition.
