About this listen

For siblings Zino and Pip, adventure begins in a dusty attic with a map stitched from pure moonlight. The shimmering chart doesn't lead to lost treasure, but to a place that shouldn't exist: the legendary Island of Impossible Odds.

After a strange and sudden shipwreck, they find themselves in a land that defies all logic. It's a world where rivers flow uphill, forests are made of glass, and breakfast is served by bubble-blowing birds. Here, they must answer riddles from a grumpy, talking boulder, outrun a shadow that steals echoes, and navigate a maze where every direction is the opposite of what it seems.

Guided by a tiny ally with wings of woven leaves, Zino and Pip journey toward the island's heart, discovering wonders like a volcano that spits out stars and a silent storm that rages without a sound. Faced with one impossibility after another, they soon realize the greatest challenge isn't just finding a way home, but learning to believe in a world where the rules of reality no longer apply.

Join them on a breathtaking journey to an island where the only thing you can count on is the unexpected, and the greatest souvenir is the courage to believe in "maybe."
