Hattie Brown has learned a lot lately. For example, that her mother is so strange because she drank a potion of oblivion, that her father is alive, imprisoned and is the rightful ruler of another world. A world without rain, covered in the ubiquitous red dust. And Hattie also has a brother - a boy that any sister can be proud of. Therefore, the girl is sure that it is her brother who is destined to free his father and return the rains to the world of red dust. And she, Hattie, will help. True, the absurd and magical other world has its own logic. And he doesn’t appoint the main characters - they become such themselves.
