One Town. Two Worlds. No Way Home.

Then he meets David, a stranger who offers to help. What begins as an act of kindness soon becomes something far stranger. Questions multiply, and a chain of events set in motion centuries ago tightens its grip on the present.

Drawn into a secretive world of hidden histories and dangerous foes, David gathers an unlikely band of allies to uncover the truth and get their new friend back elsewhere. But some doors were never meant to open, and when they do, reality itself begins to unravel.

The Boy From Elsewhere is a gripping story of parallel worlds, found family, and the terrifying courage it takes to hold on to the people you love when the universe itself is trying to pull you apart.
