Gathering Indio

Elaine sees something amazing in the park when the girl in the wheelchair suddenly awakens and begins moving. But the attendant quickly tranquilizes the girl and whisks her away. What awakened her? Elaine thinks it might be a special patch of dirt. All she wants to do is take it to the mysterious girl, just in case it’s important to her, but bit by bit Elaine gets drawn into planning a rescue. She is aided by creatures she wouldn’t believe in if she didn’t see them for herself, and sometimes it’s hard to believe in them even then. Big Guy and the Blinis are pretty strange! Elaine has no idea she is taking the first step in a battle against a great evil and that she is gathering soldiers for a fight she can’t even imagine. She doesn’t even know the evil exists…but it knows about her.
