Joey, our main character is stuck at home bored. His parents have left for the day and hes stuck with the awful, and lazy as usual babysitter. So what does Joe do? he does what he does best and uses his imagination to go on an adventure. Suddenly, the boring house becomes a large dungeon for him and his trusty sidekick dog, Dilla to explore. They are transported to another time in history, and place. The two embark on their Journey inside the deep pits of the unknown. They hear a scream for help in the distance. "C'mon Dilla, we need to help them!"Joey declared as they approach their first obstacle, a large wall of "Junk", Joey realizes that they must figure out a way over it. Joey sets out to find a resolution while Dilla, who is easily distracted, barks at a large rock. After many loud vicious barks from this tiny pup, the large dull rock starts to move and comes to life. "Who disturbs my sleep?" asks the rock. "I'm sorry, but that was my dog Dilla." Joe says to the rock. "We are looking for a way over this wall." The rock, who annoyed by the small dogs noise, says "I can help you, but it comes with a price." The boy comes closer to the rock creature to listen. "You have to retrieve my box." "whats in the box" asks the boy, "Its none of your concern, get the box and do not open it!" The boy agrees and just as soon as he was there, the rock person was gone. An opening in the Junk wall opens and the cavalier dog runs ahead. "Dilla, wait!" The boys says, but the dog ignores the call and runs ahead. The boy then goes running after him. On the other side of the junk wall, there are all types of new and strange things that Joey sees. He sees cool little gadgets and weird animals scattered about. While on his quest, the duo come across a bridge made out of popsicle sticks and in front of the bridge is large rock. As they approach Dilla runs up to the rock and begins barking at it. After a few moments there is... nothing. They assumed there would be a rock creature, but this time it was not so. "For a Toll, I'll help you pass." says a deep omin0us voice. "Who was that?" says joe, and without delay, a troll climbs up from under the bridge, and faces the boy. "How do I know you didn't put this rock here yourself?" Joey yells, "I did" the troll responds. "Oh, well then, whats your toll, troll?" The troll ponders for a moment and asks the boy "What do you have?" The boy says, "I have a few sticks of bubble gum and 10 star stickers." The Troll comments, "I'll take the gum." After the hand off is made, the troll moves the rock aside. "Do you know where the Rock person's box is?" Joey asks the troll. "I believe the evil queen is keeping it. I don't suggest you go there though, there are just too many guards for a small boy such as yourself to take on." The troll concludes. "Well, I'm not just any boy, me and Dilla can do anything!" The boy and his dog bid farewell to the troll and begin their journey to the evil queen... To be continued.

My inspirations:
I was inspired by my home and the messiness of it all. I began to see adventures to be had, by some one with a great imagination. The characters and places in the book are from my own life, which consist of my son, our dog, our home and various places and people in it.
