Extraxt from the book
When everyone had sat down, there was still one chair empty.
“Is someone else coming?” Julius asked. “Who’s going to sit on that chair?”
“Ah, that one! That’s the chair for The One Who Is Always Missing. But They are never here anyway, so we can just start the party.” The Lord of Mist cast purple fog from his sleeve. The fog now lay over the chair, so that Julius could no longer see it.

Julius sits in his room and wants to draw, but his crayons have stopped working. He is afraid and sad and tries to remember exactly what his father has told him – he knows it was something important. Suddenly, a girl appears in the glass ball that Julius’ grandparents have given him for Christmas.

His mother has said it was magical, but Julius didn’t really believe her. And yet, he soon finds himself inside the glass ball together with the girl, who tells him they must find the colorsprights which have disappeared from his crayons. Only then will Julius remember what his father has said.

Together they head on a journey in which reality and fantasy exist happily side by side, and nothing is as it first appears.Will Julius find the  colorsprights and remember what his father told him? What in all the world are colorspright? And who exactly is the Pearl Whisperer?

The Pearl Whisperer is the story about Julius, a 7-year old boy who has forgotten an important message....of Pappus, his stuffed toy parrot with remarkable and hidden powers...of the mysterious and unpredictable Soh, emerging out of nowhere...and of a struggle between good and evil, between courage and cowardice that will bring Julius, Soh and Pappus on a long and dangerous journey which will change their lives forever.
