AGE
Twelve
Old enough to know a plan is dangerous. Young enough to try it anyway.
THE CENTRAL CHARACTER
Kevin
“If everyone says it was a dream, Kevin starts looking for proof.”
Twelve years old. Impulsive. Kind. Fiercely loyal. Usually one brave decision away from making an impossible situation even more complicated.
WHO IS KEVIN?
The Boy Who Refuses to Let Go
Kevin is funny, impulsive and slightly more dramatic than he would ever admit. He has a habit of acting first and discovering the dangerous part immediately afterwards.
Beneath the jokes is a kind boy who feels everything deeply. Once Kevin cares about someone, leaving them behind stops being an option, even when staying could cost him everything.
His love for his family drives him across worlds, while his bond with Kieran gives him another person to protect—and another reason to find the way home.
