BOOK SYNOPSIS
Eleven-year-old Elliot is having a dismal pandemic summer when suddenly he’s caught in the bubble of one of his own dreams and transported to another world, controlled by evil butterflies, where the sun doesn’t shine. Along with his octopus sidekick, Elliot discovers the reason for these butterflies-gone-wrong and realizes that things must be set right if he is ever to find the way home. An epic middle-grade fantasy about discovering your true path.
