A winter tradition, a moonlit mystery, and a journey deep into the Krampus world.
When the Krampus magic falters, only courage can light the way underground.
The Moon Krampus is the fourth book in the illustrated children's fantasy series Sebastian & the Deep Forest, perfect for young readers aged 4 to 9.
Every December, the mischievous Krampus bring a bit of playful chaos to the enchanted kingdom of Salzburg-a winter tradition as old as the mountains themselves.
But this year, something is different.
Strange shadows cross the moon, lanterns vanish from the streets, and eerie howls echo from the frozen slopes of the Untersberg. When the disturbances grow stronger, Sebastian realizes that this winter's Krampus magic is not behaving as it should.
Together with his loyal companions -
Pippi, the big red-and-white cat, and
Nana, the clever little black kitten -
he sets out to uncover what has gone wrong. Their journey leads them deep into the mysterious world of the Krampus, hidden within the twisting tunnels, icy caverns and glowing chambers beneath the Untersberg mountain.
There, the three friends discover that a young Krampus is in trouble - and unless he finds his way home, the entire winter balance may collapse, bringing chaos to both realms.
Filled with snow, folklore, magical creatures and winter wonder, The Moon Krampus is perfect for:
✔ cozy bedtime reading in December
