Told in diary form by an irresistible heroine, this playful and perceptive novel from theNew York Times
bestselling author of the May Bird trilogy sparkles with science,
myth, magic, and the strange beauty of the everyday marvels we sometimes
forget to notice.
Spirited, restless Gracie Lockwood has lived in Cliffden, Maine, her
whole life. She’s a typical girl in an atypical world: one where
sasquatches helped to win the Civil War, where dragons glide over Route 1
on their way south for the winter (sometimes burning
down a T.J. Maxx or an Applebee’s along the way), where giants hide in
caves near LA and mermaids hunt along the beaches, and where Dark Clouds
come for people when they die.
To Gracie it’s all pretty ho-hum…until a Cloud comes looking for her
little brother Sam, turning her small-town life upside down. Determined
to protect Sam against all odds, her parents pack the family into a used
Winnebago and set out on an epic search for
a safe place that most people say doesn’t exist: The Extraordinary
World. It’s rumored to lie at the ends of the earth, and no one has ever
made it there and lived to tell the tale. To reach it, the Lockwoods
will have to learn to believe in each other—and
to trust that the world holds more possibilities than they’ve ever
imagined.
