Description
So begins the adventure for fifteen-year-old Wil Johnson, a typical
teenager whose strong belief in all things magical is born out of
the sorrow in his life. While still mourning the loss of his
father, Wil meets Cassia, a mystical being from the realm of
clouds, whom only he can see and hear.
While struggling to accept her magical presence, Wil faces other
trials: his mother is beginning to date again, the school bully
favors him as a target, and his best friend harbors a dark secret
of his own. When Wil begins to lose himself to his anger, reality
clashes with fantasy, and the end result leads him to a better
understanding of betrayal and innocence, loss and hope, and the
true power of friendship.
Excerpt
“Just one more thing. My friends…they don’t see
you the same way I do. I mean, you glow. At least, that’s
what I see when I look at you. They don’t. Why?”
Radiance glowed all around her; she seemed pleased with the
question. “Because you believe.” |
