But when they return, no one believes them. So, with a global war looming in their own world, their quest for proof of the Sideways World becomes ever-more urgent, in a nail-biting race against time.


And Willa and Manny will have to make an impossible decision: because once you find a perfect world, can you ever leave it behind …?
