A little boy either visits his grandparents or lives with his grandparents in a place where mysteriously no flowers grow. The flowers are being stolen by creatures from another world who (I think but not sure) only come out at night, because there are no flowers in their land, and they are considered precious and highly valued there. The little boy somehow travels to that world after spotting some of the creatures, where something bad is happening. He travels with a group of gnomes or something and helps them in their quest. This book is intended for adolescents. I'm not too sure but I think the cover has a forest with some of the characters of the other world in it.
