He strikes out for the small town of Dyerville, carrying only one thing with him: his grandfather's journal. When a letter arrives, telling Vince his grandfather has passed away, he is convinced that if his father is still alive, he'll find him at the funeral.

The Dyerville Tales is a powerfully imaginative middle grade novel that blurs the line between fairy tale and reality.
