Synopsis
Eloise Fitzgerald doesn’t fit in. Not even a little. Not even in her dreams. More at home in fairytales than in reality, Eloise avoids the outside world, only spending time at work in a flower shop, or at home with her only friend, her grandmother. When her grandmother passes away, Eloise is lost. She follows a trail of clues her grandmother left behind, seeking to find the true reason why she feels like such a misfit, both in and outside the rest of her family. Upon finding an old book left for her by her grandmother, Eloise seizes the idea that she is a changeling and embarks on a quest for the portal that will lead her “home.” Eloise’s magical search takes her all over the sites of New York City, but the fairy world is no place for grown-ups and as Eloise sadly celebrates her next birthday, more and more portals disappear… just like her opportunities. With an overly vivid, hyperpigmented imagination that gives Eloise “visions”, Eloise explores the outside world for the first time in her life and discovers that home isn’t the hardest place to find after all.
