When Jem and his family first move to a small town, he struggles with his new life. The unhappier he grows, the stranger things become . mischief and chaos seems to bloom everywhere. His sister Verity is sure it is the work of a 'nouka', an ancient creature that lives deep down inside the hill; a creature forged from the sparks of a long-extinct volcano. Jem is adamant - there is no such thing. But it is through the magic and mayhem of this small mystical creature that Jem finally finds a sense of belonging, a sense of home. He, once more, discovers a spark of magic.
