Jackson's book takes a look at what it would be like if creatures lived inside of snow globes. Those snow globes that you see in gift shops? What if there were different worlds within each one? There are living creatures in there known as Globelings. This 239 paged novel focuses on the young, timid globeling named Cirrus, who lives in Cloudscape Town; a snow globe decorated with the theme of the sky. When Cirrus isolates himself in his bedroom after shaming the name of his family owned bakery, he looks to his favorite video game for comfort, but soon enough he will not be able to tell the difference between his games or reality. When the main villain from the game, known as the Poison Prince, interferes with Cloudscape Town and threatens to make everything rotten, it's up to Cirrus to venture to the other snow globes on the shelf in order to find the special ingredients for the legendary recipe, The Greatest Cake of the Globes.
