In ROD, Rod seeks refuge in an abandoned railway site after his temper has once again gotten the better of him. He is soon joined by Billie, a girl facing similar struggles, who tumbles into his world with plenty of noise. Then Lukas appears: a quirky boy with an insect hotel, a magnetic energy and a plan for metamorphosis. Boundaries between reality and wondrous transformation dissolve, and the children must make sense of it all while quietly changing.
This is a magical story pitched at children's eye level about having a hard time and finding a way forward. Three children, a deserted train carriage and a world of impossibilities for those who want to be loved but are difficult to like.
