About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like a 'round peg in a square hole' or when their vivid imagination is being dismissed by others as mere daydreaming. It is a perfect choice for a child who loves wordplay and needs to see that being curious and observant, even when adults tell you to stop, is a superpower. Written entirely in sophisticated, rhyming anapestic tetrameter, the story follows Katrina Katrell as she escapes her stifling guardian to help a Zorgle named Morty find his missing species. It is a whimsical, slightly dark adventure that celebrates the 'unbelievers' and the 'fanciful.' While the vocabulary is rich and challenging, the rhythmic pace keeps children engaged, making it a wonderful bridge for kids who find standard prose dry. It manages to balance high-stakes adventure with a deep sense of belonging.
