In a segregated Southern town, eleven-year-old Franklin Corcoran discovers that a local vacant lot is a gateway to a parallel dimension. There, he meets Avon Moss, a girl with midnight-blue skin and white hair who belongs to a mysterious lineage known as Travelers. As Franklin documents this alternate reality—a world free from the racial divisions of his own—he uncovers a startling family connection to these interdimensional beings through his Uncle Emmett. This evocative tale blends a coming-of-age journey with cosmic wonder, exploring the thin veil between worlds and the ancestral secrets that bind them across time and space.
