Compost

“Where’s Dad?” wonders 11-year-old Leonard. He’s been missing for several months now. As if he’d vanished into thin air. And what’s going on with the compost pile in the garden? It’s been acting strangely lately. Leonard feels magically drawn to the pile of dirt. What’s more: the compost speaks to him. But neither Leonard’s mother, who has been acting very strangely lately, nor his little sister believes him. The compost pile grows, and with it, Leonard’s distrust of his mother.
