Middle child Brody feels overshadowed by his high achieving genius older brother and his star actress little sister. As his father’s agoraphobia becomes even more pronounced and his mom works longer hours to try to make ends meet, Brody is asked to sacrifice more than anyone else. When Nico saves Brody and his beloved cat from two neighborhood bullies, they become friends. Nico introduces Brody to Everland, a magical land that is only accessible through a magical doorway on Thursday nights. In Everland, Brody finally finds people that understand him and he begins to flourish and build significant friendships. When doors across Everland unexpectedly start closing, Brody must decide if he is going to stay in Everland or remain with his family. (Oklahoma Sequoyah Book Awards, 2021) |
