商品簡介
Reality and fantasy collide in this heartfelt and mysterious novel about a girl who must save a magical make-believe world in order to save herself.
Twelve-year-old Finley Hart suffers from a feeling she can’t really name, but it’s like an overwhelming sadness. When her parents’ marriage gets rocky, they send her to spend the summer with relatives she has never met. The Hart family and their many rules are strange to Finley, and their constant presence make it hard for her to fight her anxiety, her depression, and her “blue days.” Her only comfort in this strange new place is the woods behind her grandparents house. It reminds her of the Everwood—a magical place she’s been writing about for years.
Everwood is an escape for Finley—and she surprises herself by inviting her cousins along to explore. But this Everwood—the real Everwood—holds more mysteries than she ever imagined, including an entire family (of pirates) across the river that they aren’t allowed to talk to, a strange old wizard living in a house of bones, trees covered in ash, and secrets the Hart family won’t talk about. As the mysteries pile up and the pressures from her family build, Finley feels like she’s drowning in her feelings. Will she ever be able to overcome her anxieties?
