The Knot This! Story
Abuela was the last thread keeping Arely’s life from unraveling. After her passing, everything feels impossible. With parents that are barely even around, straight Fs in all of her classes, constant fights with other kids at school, and Sewman, a sentient little pincushion who is always the first to remind her how bad everything’s going, or may end up going, Arely feels like there’s no one she can rely on.
After a rough day at school, Sewman approaches her with an idea. A vibrant, magical world hidden in her Abuela's sewing basket, and the promise that he can fix finally untangle everything wrong in her head.
All she needs to do is jump in.
