Lyrics & Book by: Raneem Elmohandes

Living with her family in a castle floating above the clouds, Reema is a quirky 10-year-old girl who stands out from her twin sister Deema and the rest of her family. Their monotonous routine consists of collecting and extracting "Glint," a magical substance from the clouds to prevent the castle from falling to The Below. However, Reema uncovers a secret about the Glint, her family's past, and The Below, leading her to embark on a journey to uncover the truth.
