Hokey Pokey

The blend of fantasy and real-life issues felt unique. I'm curious whether the fantastical aspects were planned from the start or developed during writing.

The way Hokey navigates friendships and self-discovery really resonated. Am I the only one who felt nostalgic for those awkward middle school moments?

The small-town backdrop adds charm but also a sense of magic. I'm wondering how much of the setting was imagined versus drawn from real places.
