Since her dad’s death, Jan Glass has been angry at everyone. Her mom and teachers are always on her case. Even her little sister seems extra whiny. One evening, Jan stomps off to bed in a fit of rage. But when she wakes up, everything is different. She finds herself in a strange place with odd creatures. They need her help, but Jan wants no part of it. Until, that is, one of the creatures changes her mind and her attitude.
