Lost in a strange dimension where up is down and left is right, the Fetch twins must find a way to make it back to their own world in this one-of-a-kind illustrated novel from the New York Times bestselling graphic novel team of Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs. Twins Atticus and Esmeralda Fetch are the best pet finders in Thorns Hollow -- a town where people have a lot of pets, and those pets often get lost. But when a lost dog named Maxwell led them to an old, Victorian house on the edge of town, the twins found their world turned upside down. This creepy house contained a portal that leads to a whole other world -- a world where mythical creatures like trolls, fairies, and dragons are real. While trying to track down the lost dog' s owners, the twins found themselves stranded in this world called the Sideways with no way to get back. Now Maxwell, Atticus, Esmeralda, and a strange girl they' ve encountered in the Sideways will have to try to find a way to return to their world. Just who is this girl, and how does she relate to the Fetch twins? And who is the mysterious hunter who is chasing them down at every end? The answers are stranger than anyone could have imagined. Using a mix of prose, artifacts, and comics, the Eisner Award-nominated and New York Times bestselling team of Derek Fridolfs and Dustin Nguyen creates a fantasy-based middle-grade series that' s simultaneously eerie, very funny, and wondrously imaginative. With a mix of gorgeous text pages, painted artifacts, and beautiful comics, this one-of-a-kind novel is sure to spark the imaginations of readers everywhere.
