Books like The dam keeper by Robert Kondo
Sunrise Valley is a quiet, pastoral community whose peace depends on a towering dam engineered by the village’s pig farmer. The dam blocks a deadly black fog that encroaches from outside the village. When the father who built the dam ventures into the fog – a move that never leads to his return – the town is left with a mechanized safeguard and a mystery. The young heir, whose father taught him how to maintain the dam, must keep the structure operational while piecing together what happened to the lost inventor. Amid danger, adventure, and the looming question of what lies beyond the fog, the story explores courage, family loyalty, and the power of ingenuity.
