A story of adventure set in an alternative version of America where most people live on the east coast because everything west of St. Louis is filled with magic and things that go bump in the night. While this world is filled with wonder (mermaids, genies, faeries, angels) it is also problematic. Since there is magic there is no medicine. But, was it always like this? When sickness drives Gracie and her family from their home to seek a cure they are spurned on by the hope that another version of reality (one with a cure) exists.

Do you ever finish a book and just hold it because you loved it so much? I did with this one. One of my favorite Young Readers from the past year. This book will move you.
