One morning a rat of uncommon size slips through the kitchen and vanishes into the woods, and Downey, forgetting cereal, caution, the fateful hat resting on his head, and nearly everything else, follows.
Deep in the forest, he finds a hole with no bottom. He falls into a strange world of talking trees, clever stones, ancient monsters, and a garden hidden far beneath the earth. But Downey is not alone for long. The boy he calls the Bully has followed him into the hole, carrying his own darkness with him.
To escape the never-ending hole, defeat the Bully, and return to the life above, Downey must learn what courage can do, what friendship might become, and why even a bully may have a story hidden beneath their hardened veneer.
A fairy tale for anyone who has ever wished to remove a hat they never wanted to wear.
