In a quiet village where the stars seemed to whisper secrets to the moon, a young child named Eli lives with a heart full of questions and an old, dusty suitcase filled with memories of parents he never really knew. One day, Eli discovers a magical compass in the attic of his foster home—one that doesn't point north, but instead points to places that help him understand love, loss, and belonging. Guided by the compass and a talking stray dog named Thistle, Eli begins a journey not to find his parents, but to find the pieces of them left in the world—and, perhaps, to build a family of his own from the hearts he touches along the way."
