Loose Threads – Isol

Leilah lives in an idyllic village, where everything has its place. It's as beautiful and perfect as the scenes in her grandmother's embroidery. But some believe that just on the flipside of this orderly village lies the Other Side--a messy and wild world, filled with merry inhabitants and strange beasts. Leilah often visits just such a place in her dreams. Lila is constantly losing things, and when her mom demands an explanation, Lila decides that her lost possessions must be falling down into the Other Side. And so, she declares that all she has to do to fix things is mend the holes between her world and the Other Side. It's a genius idea--nothing will ever go missing again! But as Lila soon learns, some holes don't need sewing up, and mending can also mean a suffocating shutting out...
