Publisher Description
12-year-old Lucy Penley lives a quiet homeschooled life. Removed from the outside world, she spends her days lost in the pages of fashion magazines or at her sewing machine, longing to play a part in real life. After running away to her grandmother’s, she starts real school where she learns as much about herself from her first nemesis as from her first friends. But when she inherits an enormously mysterious egg from her ancient neighbor, it becomes clear that the part Lucy is destined to play is not in this world, but far beyond. Now Lucy and her friends must summon all their hope and courage to take unprecedented risks in a journey to save the last heir to another world.

A wonderful read
This is a terrific book that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last. Perry's writing displays grace, confidence, maturity, and a refreshing lightness of touch. The characters are well wrought, and you feel like you know them. Lucy, Noni, and Hiro are thoughtful, beautiful characters, and you will care deeply about their story while you revel in Perry's playful, lively writing.
I Love Lucy!!!
An excellent read for book-lovers of all ages. You will absolutely fall in love with these characters - especially Lucy and Noni. Lucy should be an inspiration to girls young and old and I know I'll never forget her!
“As the great Mark Twain is reported to have said, 'Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting in spite of it.”
