A novel set in the seaside town of Astoria, based on our true stories and the lies we told our mother to cover those stories up. Through our adventures we uncover a realm of real magic, magic that can be held in your hand as well as your hearts. A magic that takes us on a quest to save our little brother from a thing called autism and on a search for the power of the Pond Dragon King. During our journey we find many things but most importantly we find each other.
Join us in our adventures through the Polliwog Fields! A first-hand experience of the fascinating and fantastical world of the people, plants, and creatures that inhabit the mystical kingdom of the Pacific Northwest.
The book is filled with hilarious misadventures and heartbreaking, as well as heartwarming moments. It is a uniquely told story with creative twists and turns you won't soon forget.
"What I'm enjoying most about this book is something that isn't there... Namely, a boundary between the real and the magical. It's a family history wrapped up in a folktale. You plunge us from one state to the other like a dolphin ridding a bow wave." - Anthony Waters
