Hesper the Alula and her secret friend Tristan the Boytaur are forced to part sadly when Hesper is sent to the human plane to save the parallel planes of existence from possible destruction. A year later, as Hesper leads the life of a high school girl with no memory of her previous life, she meets a strangely familiar boy. Tristan has journeyed at great risk to find her, having learned a way to travel between the planes without losing his memory. They return to the Alula plane on a dangerous adventure to discover the real solution to the planes’ troubles–as Hesper struggles all the while with her fear and her tender feelings for the friend who should be her foe.

“Remarkable philosophical and spiritual depth even as the story is just plain fun! The value placed on each plane’s uniqueness and emphasis on fitting in makes for strong social commentary for the discerning reader. Miller’s embracing of individuality and self-sacrifice makes for deep thinking . . . Sky Bounce comes very highly recommended.”
