Grandpa was gone, and the magic of stories had gone with him...

Or at least that's what Daniel McCarter thought.

Now he's trapped in a world beyond imagination.

One minute, 13-year-old Daniel is rumbling through Grandpa's keepsakes with his little sister Alex and snarky cousin Brent, the next, they're tumbling into a realm where giants farm impossible crops, groundhog lawyers argue cases, werecat ladies stalk the forest, and the villainous Dadnabbers kidnap children to power their secret factory hidden deep in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Daniel has but one burning question on his mind: What would Grandpa do?

As Daniel discovers he's inherited his grandfather's gift as a Story Weaver—someone whose words can reshape reality—he must master powers he never knew he had. But the Dadnabbers want to steal that magic for themselves, and they'll destroy anyone who stands in their way.

Whether racing through the Forbidden Caverns, battling river pirates, or facing the ghostly Station Master who collects stories in exchange for safe passage, Daniel must learn that honoring the past doesn't mean you can't shape the future—and sometimes the most powerful magic is finding your own voice.

It's like Grandpa always said: "Calm waters don't smooth stones."

But Daniel isn't alone in this quest. His brave little sister Alex surprises everyone with her bold choices, while their mischief-making cousin Brent gets captured by the Dadnabbers—only to join them on a wild hunt for the Wampus Cat of Cherokee legend.

Will Brent come to his senses? Can Daniel and Alex rescue the other kids trapped in the Dadnabbers' steampunk factory? And what happens when they discover the glowing wonderland of the Little People's caves—will they choose to stay forever?

This isn't just another portal fantasy—it's a love letter to the power of storytelling itself, wrapped in the magic of Appalachia and family bonds.
