Work Description
Left alone to reconcile the many confusions and absurdities which confront him daily, including an alcoholic mother and a workaholic dad, twelve-year-old Peter Phye finds a magical realm within the woodland surrounding his home, where he befriends Dillon Hopper, a magicada out of season. Among the many wishes a boy makes every day, Peter -- like Dillon -- wants most to find his way home. Together, they stand uncertain on a threshold of transcendence, each nearing the end of a cycle: Peter leaving childhood to face adolescence with all its new treasures and perils; and Dillon to vanish into ephemeralness with the season’s end, carrying with him but a hope to return one day and regale the countryside with a song for summer nights.
But, some say the summer may be brought to an early end because the songs of nature have mysteriously disappeared! Peter and Dillon strike out on a mission for The Queen of the Night to find and recover these songs. Together, they cross The Sea of Queen Anne’s Lace, storm the gates of the Underworld and brave the Deepest Forest on their quest to set things right. There are villains and friends at every turn, human, animal, insect and supernatural. Although Peter finds that adventures, like seasons are fleeting, there is always The Forever which lives on in a young boy’s mind
