Noah's Universe

Tucked away in the village of Ducks Down, Noah feels lost and confused after the loss of his father. But when Noah meets Pretzel, a visitor from somewhere in the cosmos, his world changes forever. Pretzel teaches him to stand up for himself—although the result ends in a fight with the local bully, Axel.

When Noah attracts the dangerous attention of Mr. Carter, Axel’s father, after overhearing a secret conversation, Noah knows he must solve the mystery of Mr. Carter’s increasing power and the new, frightening hold he has over Noah.

With Pretzel’s help, Noah begins to understand that his adventures are preparing him for a more important mission: one that will require even greater courage.

“Your story was supposed to unfold gradually, the way all children’s do. But you’re being fast-tracked, because of where the world is headed.”

"As he entered the woods, Noah felt the coolness on his skin, which brought goosebumps to his arms. He had to adjust his eyes to the sudden dimness. Sharp angles of light piercing through the canopy made darting shadows. He felt something he had never noticed before. The trees seemed to be leaning in toward him, making him feel protected."
