A lonely boy with a secret life in a parallel world and a panicked cry for help

The strange creature who ferries Joey, the lonely boy, into the parallel world (the source of all ideas) whisks him away to a crisis meeting with a mysterious seer, a tenacious dwarf, and his long-lost best buddy. A young dwarf friend of theirs has been captured by a crazed giant deep in the Digs, a mountainous region controlled by a horde of bloodthirsty trolls. Their friend's life is in the giant's hands-as is knowledge that will prevent the misery and death for future children in Joey's world.

The dangers of rescue are great and will place all their lives in peril. Will Joey venture into the Digs again after having barely survived a previous trip?

If you like hidden worlds with bizarre creatures and danger, then you'll love P. W. Cross's fantasy adventure The Idea Miners: The Twisted Tree Dig.
