In this extraordinary debut novel with its deft nod to Dickensian heroes and rogues, Mira Bart k tells the story of Arthur, a shy, fox-like foundling with only one ear and a desperate desire to belong, as he seeks his destiny.

Have you been unexpectedly burdened by a recently orphaned or unclaimed creature? Worry not We have just the solution for you

Welcome to the Home for Wayward and Misbegotten Creatures, an institution run by evil Miss Carbunkle, a cunning villainess who believes her terrified young charges exist only to serve and suffer. Part animal and part human, the groundlings toil in classroom and factory, forbidden to enjoy anything regular children have, most particularly singing and music. For the Wonderling, an innocent-hearted, one-eared, fox-like eleven-year-old with only a number rather than a proper name -- a 13 etched on a medallion around his neck -- it is the only home he has ever known. But unexpected courage leads him to acquire the loyalty of a young bird groundling named Trinket, who gives the Home's loneliest inhabitant two incredible gifts: a real name -- Arthur, like the good king in the old stories -- and a best friend. Using Trinket's ingenious invention, the pair escape over the wall and embark on an adventure that will take them out into the wider world and ultimately down the path of sweet Arthur's true destiny. Richly imagined, with shimmering language, steampunk motifs, and gripping, magical plot twists, this high adventure fantasy is the debut novel of award-winning memoirist Mira Bart k and has already been put into development for a major motion picture.

Saved me so much money
Im loving this mattress topper. It has added a noticeable layer of comfort to my firm mattress without making it feel too soft. The cushion is plush yet supportive and has made sleeping more comfortable overall. The bamboo feels soft and breathable. It fits on the mattress with the deep pockets and stays in place alk night. Setup was easy and it fluffed up after unpacking. If you have a firm mattress and want extra comfort without replacing it, this topper is a great option. Highly recommend

Comfortable, cooling, and OEKO-TEX certified, it’s a great way to refresh any mattress.
This 3-inch mattress topper instantly upgraded my bed with a softer, cooler, and more supportive feel. The bamboo-viscose fabric is noticeably breathable, helping regulate heat throughout the night—great for hot sleepers. The 1200GSM down-alternative fill adds plush, cloud-like cushioning while still offering balanced support for the back and shoulders. It fits securely with the deep pockets and stays in place even when turning. After allowing it to fully expand, the topper fluffs up beautifully. Comfortable, cooling, and OEKO-TEX certified, it’s a great way to refresh any mattress.

Great upgrade for a rental apartment mattress
The mattress in my rental place is firm to the point where it almost feels unfinished. Instead of replacing it, I decided to try adding this topper. It made an immediate difference in the way the bed feels when I sit or lie down. There’s a nice cushioned layer that softens that “flat” feeling but still holds its shape. Another thing I noticed is how breathable it is. I expected thick padding to feel warm, but the airflow here feels better than the original mattress surface. Even after moving around, it never felt heavy or stuffy.

Soft and Comfortable Topper
I got this bamboo mattress topper for a small single bed we keep in our guest room, but I ended up testing it out myself first. The material feels soft and breathable, which is nice because that room can get a little warm in the afternoons. It adds a good amount of cushioning without making the bed too soft. After a couple of nights, my back actually felt better compared to the old mattress alone. I also appreciate that it’s machine washable, because our guest room sometimes doubles as a nap spot for my son after swim class, and spills happen. It dried pretty quickly in the dryer and kept its shape. Overall, it made the bed feel much more comfortable and fresh.

Added comfort for someone working night shifts
I work odd hours, so my sleep schedule is all over the place. My mattress has always felt a bit too stiff after long shifts, so I got this topper hoping it would help me relax faster. It really changed the overall feel of the bed. The padding has a cushioned lift that makes lying down feel smoother, especially around the shoulders and lower back. Instead of feeling like I’m dropping onto a firm surface, there’s a soft layer that evens out the pressure. What surprised me most is how light the surface feels. Even after staying in one position, it never gets stuffy or heavy. The airflow makes a difference when your body is trying to wind down after work. The fitted pocket also stays tight around the mattress, so nothing shifts when I move. I can stretch out without worrying about the topper sliding off.
