Stolen sneakers that lead to an otherworldly portal? Get ready for a magical, high-energy middle grade graphic novel about friendship, confidence, and finding where you belong—perfect for anyone who loves humor, adventure—and monsters!

When middle school basketball player and supernatural superfan Chloe chases a mysterious creature into the woods to retrieve her stolen sneakers, she stumbles into the fantastical Netherworld filled with the monsters and cryptids she’s always loved. There, she meets Ethan, an anxious young Netherling tasked with babysitting his mischievous little sister. Chloe and Ethan quickly bond over their shared fear of messing up—and their love of adventure.

As Chloe navigates this strange new world, she begins to wonder if she’s finally found a place where she truly fits in. But with her shoes—and her way home—still missing, she’ll have to decide: can she find the confidence to face her mistakes and return to her real life, or will she remain lost in the Netherworld forever?
