Willoughby’s Way and the Seeds of Spring

Release Date November 2026

For seventy years, Willoughby Wayfare floated inside a pickle jar on a dusty shelf at the local tap between the beef jerky and potato chips.

Then the jar broke.

The young alien awakens in a world he doesn’t recognize, with no memory of who he is or how he got there.

His only clues are a note taped to his jar and a glitchy device embedded in his chest that insists it is still 1955 and that he is attending Camp Gallivant, an intergalactic sleepaway camp that seems to have vanished decades ago.

To return home, Willoughby must complete a series of camp challenges and earn the merit badges needed to trigger a shuttle.

He soon finds refuge at Northstar Farm, where a family of barn cats and a quirky community of animals offer friendship, guidance, and a place to belong.

But as winter turns to spring and his ties to Northstar Farm deepen, Willoughby begins to wonder if returning home is the only thing that matters.

A heartwarming adventure about friendship, resilience, community, and learning to bloom where you’re planted.
