While stories are told about the water spirits and the threat of the land being taken over for development, Aim?e zones out, distracting themselves from the bullying and isolation they've experienced since expressing their non-binary identity. When Aim?e accidentally wanders off, they are transported to an alternate dimension populated by traditional Anishinaabe figures in a story inspired by "Alice in Wonderland." To gain the way back home, Aim?e is called on to help Trickster by hunting down dark water spirits with guidance from Paayehnsag. On their journey, Aim?e faces off with the land-grabbing Queen and her robotic guards and fights the dark water spirits against increasingly stacked odds"--Provided by publisher.
