The Elestial Stylus

With the help of his antique windup turntable, Dinderhelm Merritt lives a simple life alone in Anaahat forest - but a cataclysmic event changes everything. A chance meeting with an alien Piksy named something that sounds like Tiddah-Sa-Mi-Tarra leads him to discovering information about missing family; and when the needle of his beloved turntable shatters during a frightening encounter with the dense but dangerous Patrons of the High Mager; the simple task of finding a replacement part becomes a fight against a tyrannical regime.

Din begins his pursuit to change the world, find out what happened to his family, and most importantly, fix his turntable! Tidd joins him on his journey primarily because she doesn't know anyone else, and because she has nothing better to do - though she would quite like to know how she ended up on Rocksphear. Help arrives in the form of some old furry friends, a slimy ally with an obsessive need for adventure, and a feathery... bird. But will this bizarre band of oddballs have what it takes to help Din find the answers he needs, overthrow the Magers, and get home before his carrots go off!
