The 12-year solstice has come. And with it, a sinister carnival brings a new sense of terror and wonder to a small coastal town. An enormous shoe is washed up on the shore...a tiny man disguises himself as a mouse...a crow provides eyes for a blind innkeeper...and three curious adventurers discover the gateway to the Land of Dreams–where you don't always get what you want, you get what you deserve....

Set in the same world as his award-winning story Paper Dragons, this book portrays a magical atmosphere of the 12-year solstice as it comes to a northern California coastal town.

From Library Journal:

Every 12 years, at the time known as Solstice, the fabric of reality unravels and travel to strange lands becomes a possibility. When Skeezix and his friend Jack find a boat-sized shoe on the California beach, they become part of a series of events that involve an unsolved murder, a dark carnival, a benevolent attic ghost, and a trip via The Flying Toad to the "land of dreams." The author of Homunculus weaves bits and pieces of surreal images into a fascinating tale; for adult and YA fantasy collections. JC
