She's too young to know exactly what she senses, but she knows something is very wrong. She too is fast-faster than fast-and she senses danger. Jules is devastated, but she refuses to believe what all the others believe, that-like their mother-her sister is gone forever.Īt the very same time, in the shadow world, a shadow fox is born-half of the spirit world, half of the animal world.
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. And if only Sylvie wasn't such a fast-faster than fast-runner. Better than just sisters, more than best friends, they'd be identical twins if only they'd been born in the same year.
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.
