In a world between legend and dream, A Wild Ride through the Night describes the exhilarating and comic adventures of his twelve-year-old protagonist Gustave, a boy who aspires one day to be a great artist. When a disaster at sea puts Gustave in the uncompromising hands of Death, he has the choice to give up the ghost or take on a series of six impossible tasks. Gustave embarks on a strange and perilous journey during which he must save a princess from an angry dragon, pull a tooth from the Most Monstrous of All Monsters, fly over the moon, and even, somehow, meet his own self. Will Gustave's creativity and imagination be able to save him from his fate?

In einer einzigen Nacht muss Gustave von der Erde zum Mond, einmal quer durch das ganze Universum und wieder zurück reisen. Denn er hat eine Wette mit dem Tod abgeschlossen, bei der es um nichts Geringeres geht als um sein Leben und um seine Seele.
