'Just over a year ago, my father plucked me up like a weed and took me and all our belongings (no, that is not true - he did not bring the chestnut tree nor the willow nor the maple nor the hayloft nor the swimming hole nor any of those things which belong to me) and we drove three-hundred miles straight north and stopped in front of a house in Euclid, Ohio.'
There, Salamanca Hiddle begins to unravel the mystery that surrounds her world - a world from which her mother has suddenly, and without warning, disappeared. No one can tell Sal the full story - not her new friend Phoebe, the girl with the powerful imagination, nor Margaret, the lady with the wild red hair, nor her own sorrowful father. Only her crazy grandparents, with a bitter sweet story of their own to tell, finally lead Sal to the truth.
Sal's madcap journey is one full of humour as well as sorrow, captivating the imagination as its mystery unfolds . . .
