Lukas Rozzi, a shy twelve-year-old on the autistic spectrum, has a tough time processing transitions and sudden change. But, when he discovers a local witch legend is not only true, but deadly, Lukas will brave his deepest fears to set the timeline right – even if it means betraying his best friend. Spanning the present, the future, and parallel worlds, THE STAIRWAY sets Lukas on a hero’s journey as he learns to accept and appreciate the inevitability of change: both the good and the bad.

NOTE: This story is extra-twisty with lots of layers to peel away and climb around in. Following the premise that magic is science that hasn’t been explained yet, the ‘witches’ in the colonial legend are not actually witches, and any ‘magic’ in this story has roots in real physics!
