Rupert Dullz isn't very happy. His grandmother's coffus is getting worse, school is boring and there's nothing to do on his days off but rake up endless piles of leaves. Everything in Graysland is, well, gray, and every day is just like the one before it, and the one before that. That is, until a strangely dressed man named Pie O'Sky swoops out of nowhere in his multicolored bagoon and offers a special reward to whoever can open his mysterious door. When Rupert succeeds, he's thrilled when Pie O'Sky carries him beyond it to the brilliantly colored land of Far-Myst. Adventure calls, and Rupert discovers a wonderful world full of something he's never heard of before--imagination. But Far-Myst is in danger, and it may be that only Rupert has the power to save it. Is he the one whose imagination is powerful enough to stop the evil that is destroying the beautiful world beyond the door?

About the Author:

A filmmaker and writer since childhood, Mike Dicerto has directed numerous shorts, music videos, documentaries, promotional videos and two feature films (No Exit and Triptosane). His first novel, Milky Way Marmalade, received rave reviews and won the the 2003 Dream Realm Award for speculative fiction ebooks. Mike has many interests, including yoga (practicing for more than ten years), gardening (loves growing chili peppers in his rooftop garden), playing guitar (and trying hard to get better), cats (long-time volunteer at NYC’s Ollie’s Place Adoption Center and cat whisperer), really good and really bad movies and ’70s TV as well as archeology, ethno-pharmacology, and all kinds of geeky and bizarre stuff. He is a dedicated MST3K fanatic. He thinks of music as his religion—especially classic rock. He lives quite contently in a NYC apartment with his wife and soul mate, Suzy and their rescued kitty, Cosmo. He is very excited about the release of the first of his exciting new Rupert Starlight kid-lit series, which begins with The Door to Far-Myst.
