🌲 🦊 🐭 Campbell was ten the first time he turned into a mouse. The only person he could tell was his best friend Shea, but on that same day, she vanished into thin air. And when she returned, she was... different. They both were. They'd seen places - become things - that shouldn't have been possible. They had a hunger for an imaginary elsewhere. They say you're supposed to find yourself in the great outdoors. Cousins Nora and Luís know it's what else you might find that you should be concerned about. But when they are invited on an expedition to explore the mountains of Soledad, Colorado, they find themselves unable to resist the draw of fairy places - no matter how many times they've been warned of the dangers that lurk in the woods beyond their town. And the mysterious two leading the expedition, Campbell and Shea, always seem to be poking around places they shouldn't be, looking for things that don't want to be found. As whispering voices and prying hands lure children from their beds, as stars wink overhead and pillars of stone crash to the earth, as two worlds come unstrung, a group of adventurers must find their way into places impossible - and find their way back again. They say you're supposed to find yourself in the great outdoors. What does it mean if you don't like what you find? &&& Updates every Saturday (with sporadic bonus updates on Wednesdays :) )
