Ten-year-old Ellie always lived life in the shadows. Everything always seemed bigger, more powerful, than she. But she never felt small and insignificant around her grandfather. Rather, he made her feel anything was possible. Yet as shadows gather around her again, something extraordinary happens that no one else seems to notice. Through a marvelous series of events, Ellie encounters a silver cord that escorts her that evening to another world. Can she bring the supernatural goodness she cherished in her grandfather to that world before it is too late to return safely home? Follow Ellie and her silver cord on an adventure to save that world and ours from a sinister force that rises out of a dark city in the valley land of the clouds. Author: Thomas L.
