What if your imagination could come alive?
What if you couldn’t control it?
Gwendolyn Gray is the only dreamer in a dystopian city of identical gray skyscrapers, clouds that never clear, and grown-ups who never understand. Her ADHD brain and wild imagination is constantly getting her in trouble. But when her daydreams come alive and run amok in The City, she draws the attention of the Faceless Gentlemen, who want to preserve order in The City by erasing Gwendolyn and her troublesome creations.
With the help of two explorers from another world, Gwendolyn escapes into a steampunk adventure world. Now Gwendolyn and a ragtag gang of airship pirates have to find a way to harness her powers and save both worlds from being erased.
