Twelve-year-old Aspen has just moved from the perfect city of Greenview to a small town named GreyWorth, and she is anything but happy. The only thing that remotely excites her is a forest nearby, though Aspen thinks it’s going to be lifeless and boring like the rest of the town. But when she wanders into the forest one afternoon and discovers a shocking secret, things are about to change. She suddenly finds herself waking up only to see she’s in a magical world callee Athelea. She has so many questions, but the one most on her mind: How do I get home? Aspen is about to learn there’s no easy way, and that she’ll need courage, patience, and a whole lot of help. Can she actually figure out what’s happening, navigate these strange events, and return home before it’s too late?
