Synopsis

“Normal” means different things to different people.

For sixteen-year-old Sadie Larcen, family dynamics look a little different than most. Parents with oddball occupations? Normal. Five homeschooled siblings—one with autism? Normal.

Police knocking on the door and parents gone missing? Definitely not normal!

When Sadie uncovers the reasons behind her parents’ disappearance and the truth about her heritage, she despairs of ever feeling normal again. Especially when she learns that her mother’s interest in Bigfoot, Dwarves, and other lore extends beyond her popular blog. Sadie’s family has been entrusted with keeping the secrets of the Tethered World—home to creatures that once roamed the Garden of Eden. 

Sadie and her siblings must venture into this land to rescue their parents. Stepping out of reality and into a world she never knew existed is a journey Sadie fears and resents. But she chooses to risk all to save her family.

She’s just not sure she will survive in the process.

À propos de l'auteur

Heather L.L. FitzGerald is excited to introduce readers to the realm of The Tethered World. She has always possessed the “what if” gene and an overactive imagination. As a homeschooling mother of four, she spent a lot of time immersed in reading stories to her kids while percolating quite a few of her own. Now that the kids are (mostly) grown, she’s enjoyed getting to spend more time pursuing writing, while her husband of 26 years cheers her on. Living near the big city of Fort Worth, Texas has afforded her family some special opportunities in the home school community. Over the last 12 years, Heather has taught ballet at a fine art school for homeschoolers—a large academy with nearly 900 students. Heather may be a Texan now, but she grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and used her beloved hometown of Orchards, Washington as the (above ground) setting for The Tethered World. Local landmarks like Beacon Rock and Burgerville make an appearance in her adventure, while one of her book’s quirkiest characters, Aunt Jules, is based on her best friend that still lives in the area. Some of Heather’s favorite fantasy series include Gregor the Overlander, from Suzanne Collins (yes, she loves The Hunger Games, too!), The Wingfeather Saga, from Andrew Peterson (who’s music is equally moving), and The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. Besides reading, writing, and dancing, Heather enjoys most creative outlets, such as painting, cooking, and decorating. One day she also hopes to add “travel” to her list of regular hobbies. In the meantime, drinking coffee is a cheaper habit—er—hobby, that she enjoys with much enthusiasm.
