  James Bozzi, Catherine Reichenbach, and Rebecca Reichenbach for building time machines.

  Katie Hammer(shark) for singing with me on the power-lines.

  Jacky Young, and the rest of The Clan, for camping and instilling my love of trees early on.

  Every person who has left footprints in my life, whether you realized it or not.

  Christopher Ardagna, my Fish, traveler of worlds, and music-maker.

  I love you.

  About the Author

  Elena Bozzi’s love of stories began, she imagines, before she was born. From an early age, she knew that stories were beautiful ways to connect with others. Eventually, after consuming copious amounts of written words, she decided it would be proper to give back to the book world.

  She hopes you will enjoy, are enjoying, or have enjoyed this bookher first novel. To write it, she listened deeply to many forests, gardens, and mountains. Much of this story came directly from them.
