- Baker & Taylor
An otherworldly fox is born to help eleven-year-old Jules, who is grieving over the death of her sister. - Baker & Taylor
The Newbery Honoree and National Book Award finalist author of The Underneath teams up with the Pulitzer Prize-nominee author of Someday to present the story of a grieving sister whose desire to make a final wish for her lost sibling causes the human and shadow worlds to collide. Simultaneous eBook. - Baker & Taylor
When her sister Sylvie goes missing on a snowy morning and is never seen again, Jules refuses to believe she is gone forever, meanwhile, in the shadow world, a shadow fox is born. - Simon and Schuster
Worlds collide in a spectacular way when Newbery and National Book Award finalist Kathi Appelt and Pulitzer Prize nominee and #1 New York Times bestseller Alison McGhee team up to create a fantastical, heartbreaking, and gorgeous tale about two sisters, a fox cub, and what happens when one of the sisters disappears forever.
Sylvie and Jules, Jules and Sylvie. Better than just sisters, better than best friends, they'd be identical twins if only they'd been born in the same year. And if only Sylvie wasn't such a fast'faster than fast'runner. But Sylvie is too fast, and when she runs to the river they're not supposed to go anywhere near to throw a wish rock just before the school bus comes on a snowy morning, she runs so fast that no one sees what happens'and no one ever sees her again. Jules is devastated, but she refuses to believe what all the others believe, that'like their mother'her sister is gone forever.
At the very same time, in the shadow world, a shadow fox is born'half of the spirit world, half of the animal world. She too is fast'faster than fast'and she senses danger. She's too young to know exactly what she senses, but she knows something is very wrong. And when Jules believes one last wish rock for Sylvie needs to be thrown into the river, the human and shadow worlds collide.
Writing in alternate voices'one Jules's, the other the fox's'Kathi Appelt and Alison McGhee tell the searingly beautiful tale of one small family's moment of heartbreak, a moment that unfolds into one that is epic, mythic, shimmering, and most of all, hopeful. - Simon and Schuster
