Disclaimer: I listened to the audiobook.
Lucas is 11 and his brother, Aidan, is 12. Lucas wakes up one morning to find Aidan gone. No one knows where he is. They search the whole house, and then the whole town pretty much starts searching for him. Lucas has NO IDEA why he would leave or where he could be. One night as Lucas is trying to go to sleep, he hears a thud above him in the attic. He goes up to investigate on his own and finds Aidan laying on the floor looking up at an old dresser. Aidan has been missing for 6 days and says he was whisked away to Avienieu, an alternative universe. As he sticks to his story to the police, his parents, and Lucas, he tells anyone else a made up story that he ran away. Lucas questions him about everything and Aidan has an answer, but then it gets leaked from the police department what he told them about Avienieu and he then has to deal with all the aftermath.
I didn't love this book. I was very excited from the title and the beginning, but then it just kinda dragged on. Also at the end when things kinda go back to normal, it throws in that Aidan begins a relationship with a boy, which just felt thrown in, even though the Aunt is transgender.
