When life tells you what you cannot do, dare to dream bigger.

Thirteen-year-old Shaffer Anderson is a dreamer, a fighter, and a boy who refuses to be defined by ALS-Lou Gehrig’s disease. When a medical crisis forces him into an induced coma, something extraordinary happens. While under, Shaffer slips into the Etheric realm, where it is believed that raw sustenance of universal laws and knowledge flows. There he receives a transmission of information, that upon his awakening, he refers to as “The Principles of Success.”

The experience changes him not only mentally but spiritually. He knows the information he received is to be shared and the first people he does so with are his three school friends, all of whom have had their own set of life challenges. Monte was a homeless kid, who along with his baby sister, went through years of living in New York shelters with an alcoholic mother. Sofia survived weeks of travel with El Salvadorian Coyotes in order to live the American dream, and David, who was placed in an adoption agency by his biological parents when diagnosed with autism, are collectively known as the Odd Squad. They come together to nurture each other’s goals and support each other’s dreams.

At its core, Shaffer, the Dream Maker and the Odd Squad is a story of friendship, courage, confidence, and the power of the human spirit.
