Cardboard Castles in the Sky

A Tale Where Magic Lives Forever

A Children’s Fantasy Novelette by JR Friend

Step into a forgotten graveyard, where two lonely children discover that the strangest-looking creatures may have the gentlest hearts.

Teddy and Shirley are seven-year-old twins who once lived happily above their parents’ candy store in a tiny North Dakota town. But after tragedy sends them to a lonely farm in Missouri, the children find comfort in the one place everyone else fears: an old abandoned cemetery.

There, behind a weathered crypt, they meet Quasi—a shy, child-sized hunchbacked friend who leads them into a hidden world beneath the earth. What waits below is strange, funny, magical, and tender: a two-headed vulture named Hi-Low, a quiet Painter who creates impossible worlds, a kind devil-like chief named Lucie, the mysterious Father Time, and Francis, a huge gentle creature with two hearts.

Part dark fairy tale, part storybook fantasy, Cardboard Castles in the Sky is a tale about loneliness, imagination, hidden kindness, and the power of found family.
