* “Wondrous elements of fabulism and the affection between grandfather and granddaughter combine to form something greater than the sum of their parts . . . a dazzling, heartfelt journey through fading memories.” —Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review
Cassi loves spending time with her grandfather. His games, songs, and stories have always brought her endless joy. This visit with him, though, is different: Grandpa seems to be losing track of things, including everything from the stories they’re sharing to who Cassi herself is. So when he goes missing after wandering off from his own backyard, Cassi knows she has to figure out where he’s gone.
What she discovers is a world filled with memories, none of them her own. As she leaps from one memory to the next, she knows she’s getting closer and closer to finding her grandfather—but only if she can make sure he doesn’t slip away forever.
Dean is a comic author/artist and painter based in Oakland CA. Over the past 10 years he has done work for Dark Horse, Boom comic, Penguin Random House, as well as exhibited his work in fine art galleries in New York, Portland, and San Francisco.
