Présentation de l'éditeur

Chessie Bligh is unaware of who she is and what power she possesses. She lives with her greedy parents, who farm her out to a string of nannies and private academies for her upbringing-parents who are so busy with their corporate management positions that they have little time for their daughter. Chessie's only solace in life is her Shih Tzu puppy, Wuggbert, who loves her unconditionally.Out of defiance, Chessie decides to trade places with another fourteen-year-old girl named Aelyn, who is traveling from Europe to America to attend school. While their flights are delayed in New York, the girls work out their plan. Chessie lands in a place called Sterntaler, German for "star gazer." Hidden from humans through magic, this elf encampment at the north rim of the Grand Canyon changes Chessie's life forever. She soon learns she has magical powers with which she can change the course of history. Chessie also learns that Sterntaler is not a place at all; it is a child's most fervent wish-a multidimensional world where shape shifting, spells, and magical creatures exist! And it is the place where Chessie's quest to find her elf destiny begins to unfold.
