A quiet, creative young girl grieving the death of her father and caring for her pregnant mother meets a mischievous boy with a magical secret.

As their bond deepens, Samantha faces an impossible choice:

Escape into a world where she can be free and happy, or stay and face the difficult life that needs her most?

An agonising middle-grade, magical realism adventure about how grief, loss and loneliness meet family, friendship and hope through inner strength.
