â[A] fantasy series opener unlike anything else out there . . . Quirky, charming, funny, sad: another winner from this always-surprising author.â âKirkus Reviews (starred review) A Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book A Kirkus Best Book of the Year A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year A Horn Book Fanfare Book This is a tale of missing persons. Madeleine and her mother have run away from their former life, under mysterious circumstances, and settled in a rainy corner of Cambridge (in our world). Elliot, on the other hand, is in search of his father, who disappeared on the night his uncle was found dead. The talk in the town of Bonfire (in the Kingdom of Cello) is that Elliotâs dad may have killed his brother and run away with the Physics teacher. But Elliot refuses to believe it. And he is determined to find both his dad and the truth. As Madeleine and Elliot move closer to unraveling their mysteries, they begin to exchange messages across worldsâthrough an accidental gap that hasnât appeared in centuries. But even greater mysteries are unfolding on both sides of the gap: dangerous weather phenomena called âcolor stormsâ; a strange fascination with Isaac Newton; the myth of the âButterfly Child,â whose appearance could end the droughts of Cello; and some unexpected kisses . . . âStartlingly original fantasy.â âE. Lockhart, #1 New York Timesâbestselling author âA marvelous novelâin every sense of the word.â âDeborah Harkness, #1 New York Timesâbestselling author â[A] genre-blending feat of stylistic energy.â âThe Bulletin of the Center for Childrenâs Books (starred review) âMoriartyâs marvelously original fantasy is quirky and clever.â âBooklist
