Mocinow stares up at the night sky and notices something wrong. A star has vanished. While grown-ups dismiss his observation, the little boy knows what he saw. His faithful dog Bitterbitt and cousin Liza Lou believe him. The three young adventurers set out to solve the mystery of the disappeared star. Their search takes them through a world where impossible things become possible and overlooked details hold the key to wonder. Adults have forgotten how to see magic in everyday moments, but Mocinow and his companions retain their natural curiosity. They refuse to accept simple explanations when something extraordinary demands investigation. Together they discover that childhood wonder can unlock mysteries that logical adult minds cannot fathom.
