For fans of The Last Kids on Earth and Mighty Jack comes a fantastical adventure with an evil AI twist from New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig.

Noah wakes up one day in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. He can't remember how he got there, but he knows he has to get home. So when a door appears in the cabin wall, he opens it...and is thrust into the bizarro world of Dream Else. 

In this strange land, no two creatures look alike: There are giant beetles with human hands, smiling pink blobs of slime, and a walking teakettle who sells the best meatshroom pies you've ever tasted. Amid the chaos are other lost kids who want to find their way home, as well as a mysterious man named Sebastian who knows much more than he'll say. Now Noah and his new friends must navigate the wildly unpredictable dangers of Dream Else as they uncover its secrets and write their own story—literally.

New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig tells an original and oh-so-timely tale in this unforgettable adventure about the power of storytelling and friendship.
