Back Cover Blurb 
Izaghi was born with a dream in his heart and a string on his chest—an invisible thread that tied him to a home he longed to leave, but could never forget. 
Armed with a homemade device of foam claps, strings, and a small engine, seven-year-old Izaghi floats beyond the edges of his world. He visits villages where music shapes the rain, deserts where echoes carry truths from the past, and markets where stars are traded for stories. Each place holds a piece of his heart—each goodbye leaves a quiet ache. 
As the wind carries him from adventure to adventure, Izaghi learns that not every dream is meant to be kept, and not every wish leads where you expect. But some lessons wait in the quiet places: 
In the voice of a mother long gone. 
In the forgiveness of a friend he thought he’d left behind. 
In the gardens that bloom from kindness alone. 
This is the story of a boy who learns that becoming yourself means remembering all the names you’ve ever been called—son, friend, dreamer, wanderer—and knowing when to let go. 
For readers who believe in hope, in wonder, and in the quiet strings that pull us home.

    Cassie King's father told her the universe was on her side, although lately it doesn't really feel like that's true. 
 
 
 
The only thing Cassie enjoys is the volunteer work she does at her local library with her classmate and kind-of friend Joe. After a very intense storm, they discover an abandoned kitten. Figuring the kitten needs a friend just as much as she does, Cassie names him Albert and takes him home with her. 
 
 
 
Soon Cassie begins to notice that Albert is acting . . . strange. He seems to have impossible strength. Cassie swears she sees plumes of smoke rising from his water bowl. And one day, while Albert is in the room, a unique symbol appears on Cassie's closet door. 
 
 
 
After a bit more investigating, it turns out that the symbol isn't so random, and neither was that weird storm that occurred when they first found Albert outside. Albert is not really a cat at all, and he has links to a historic and incredibly strong dragon world, a world that once had an alliance with the human one. But a breach in this usually well-oiled machine has put everyone—including Cassie and Joe—in grave danger. And their biggest enemy is closer than they ever imagined.
