A Wild Ride Through the Night Walter Moers

In a world between legend and dream, A Wild Ride through the Night describes the comic adventures of twelve-year-old Gustave, an aspiring 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?
