Books are the only things that make her feel at ease. But it comes as a shock when a mysterious wind whisks her right into the pages of her latest fantasy read. More shocking still is the fact that she herself summoned this wind! Plunged into the magical world of Silva, Lan realizes she has much to offer protagonists Annabelle and Marlow. Once a homesick reader and bystander rooting for the very characters that now stand before her, Lan is a budding witch who suddenly has the power to help their quest. Somewhere inside her lies the ability to not only save Annabelle and Marlow's home, but also to shape a familiar tale into something new. As Lan faces off against tree guardians, moving corn mazes, heart-eaters and thoughtless kings, she finds that Silva is not so different from Toronto: new homes can be messy. Now, torn between several places at once, Lan begins to confront an important question: how do you redefine a lost home?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Teenage immigrants $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $z Canada $z Canada $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Witches $v Juvenile fiction. $9 82989 650 0 $a Friendship $v Juvenile fiction. $9 85755 650 0 $a Imaginary places $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Belonging (Social psychology) $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Toronto (Ont.) $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft $9 176119 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft $9 183907 941 $a 5 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240402012502.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240309010749.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240302010402.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011052.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231121010151.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B9ECD728883B11EEBC107B3452ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
