The In-Between

The fantasy setting feels so vivid and unique—I'm curious whether it was inspired by personal experiences or pure imagination. How did the author craft this enchanting space?

The story strikes a delicate balance between lighthearted adventure and real feelings about family separation. Did it resonate with anyone's own experiences or feelings about these topics?

The character’s path through the In-Between feels like a metaphor for navigating change. What do you think this book says about resilience and self-discovery for middle graders?
