Description

On this burning-hot planet, only carapodes, wondrous giant tortoises, can safely move about and deliver resources to the cities perched on rocky promontories. And only one individual, Arobase, can guide them. So when he decides to let the carapodes fend for themselves and goes to work for Zyg and his circus, the inhabitants of the planet panic! Their cities are isolated, and no food or even news of their loved ones can reach them. The Little Prince and Fox will have to help them find a way to set their world back in order.
