Synopsis

Ember—a curious, quirky college student—meanders through life with her head in the clouds. One weekend, at her parents’ home in the mysterious Smokey Mountains, she's so distracted by the flora and fauna in her backyard that a bizarre, unnatural storm nearly engulfs her. She narrowly escapes to the safety of her room, where a peculiar book awaits her. As she dives into the story, an intriguing figure lures her into the very pages, trapping her within between the book's covers!

Between encounters with fantastical friends, Greek gods, soul-sucking dragons, and the monsters that lurk about in the real world, Ember eventually descends into Hades and meets a ghostly girl who needs her help. On this mind-boggling trek that has her questioning what reality even is, she must decide whether she'll drown in despair, or join forces with her friends to save the universe and become the true author of her own life.

À propos de l'auteur

Sara is a space-time traveler who grew up in a strange world void of modern luxuries like cell phones, hoverboards, or the worldwide web. Even so, Sara's childhood was rich, because she was a latchkey kid who did pretty much whatever she wanted. If she was hot, she jumped in the creek. If she wanted to fly, she swung through the forest on giant grapevines. One day, Sara brought slices of watermelon to her neighbors, and a visitor told her exciting stories about swimming with manta rays. Another day, a missionary at summer camp told Sara about a country shaped like a string bean called Chile. Sara listened intently, and she longed to see the world, too. Eventually, Sara found herself in a different dimension, where she kayaked over waterfalls in a tropical paradise, sped down Alpen ski slopes, and studied quantum physics. In 1999, while living in a city called Konstanz, Sara started writing a story about a girl she called Ivory. Somewhere along the way, Sara misplaced the original draft, so she started over and created yet another parallel universe. Merging the narratives of Ivory's adventures made Sara's brain hurt, so much so that she wanted to give up entirely. When life was toughest, Sara completed her quest to bring her characters to life. She encourages her readers to embrace their experiences, both the good and the bad, to create a better future, and to never stop dreaming.
