Poem
On the barren grounds

It took sinking under blinding white
to emerge another me
somebody who i forgot i was
someone i could never see.

It took Facing my worst fears
stepping out into the night
to find that i was brave enough
before i found the light.

It took me going far away
To feel this close to you
it took dreaming of a memory
to change what i thought i knew.

It took stars within the sky
To guide my way back home
that i'll know the way
wherever i might roam.

Characters

• Morgan
• Eli
• Arik
• Ochek

1.
Morgan

One of the main characters, Morgan, is very interesting! She is a foster child, so she had moved a lot. She can have an attitude, but overall she is pretty nice! She is Indigenous, has short hair, and brown eyes.
She is important to the book because she really helps Eli get through the Barren Grounds. Morgan is probably the most interesting character in the book.

2.
Eli

Eli is exciting! He loves to draw, and that is what brought him and Morgan together. The picture that he drew of the Barren Grounds was the portal. He is also Indigenous, like his foster sister, Morgan. He has brown eyes, dark hair, and a little bit shorter than Morgan. He was pretty nice all the way through, but he sometimes got in a fight with Morgan. Eli is the character that brought everything together.

2.
Arik

Arik is one of those characters that isn't expected. He is a squirrel, and he is almost eaten by ochek and the kids. he begs not to be eaten, and Ochek agrees. He is important to the book because he ends up being the only person that can help the kids get home. Arik may be an unlikely hero, but he sure is great!

2.
Ochek

Ochek is a very surprising animal! he was in Eli's drawing. ochek is half human and half bear. He took the kids to his house for shelter. he led them to the green time to save the world! even though ochek died, he was still very important!

The barren grounds

The barren grounds are like the arctic. It's all snowy and frozen, and it had been like that for years! Morgan and Eli came to the barren grounds from the drawing. this may surprise you, but there are more bizarre things to come!

2.
The green land

the green land is just the opposite of the barren grounds! It is green all the time, and there are Animals that roam free under the sun, and the land has just enough supplements for all. the group were chased by a man in the green land, and ochek died there. here is where everyone wanted to get to. summer is nice, and so is the green land!
