About this listen
Avery Nolan has a secret. A secret she guards fiercely.
But everyone has secrets. Her mother, who draws pictures of nightmarish creatures. Her grandmother with her padlocked shed. Her student with the pale eyes and brooding father.
Leaving Sacramento after her divorce, Avery retreats to Tahoe with her golden retriever, Basil, looking for change, but as her grandmother always told her, “Be careful what you wish for.” After Basil discovers a hidden clearing with three standing stones, everything that Avery thinks she knows is suddenly upended.
Each move she makes brings her closer to a world imagined only in fairy tales and to unraveling the secrets her family has guarded for decades - secrets that will give Avery more adventure than she ever thought imaginable.
Avery Nolan is a normal 31 year old woman who is rebuilding herself after a divorce. She has moved to a cabin left to her by her grandmother and is substituting at the local school, teaching first grade. Her pupils are delightfully quirky, as only first graders can be. Seems normal, right? Well that is hardly the case. Her 11 year old dog suddenly has a new lease on life and seems to get younger every time he disappears into the mountains. The father of one of her students seems to hate her for no justifiable reason. Then things get weirder.
I enjoyed listening to Kelley Hazen narrate ML Hamilton's sometimes funny, sometimes quirky prose. Avery Nolan's personality seems to really jump out at the listener. She is well written and the story is well narrated as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this listening experience. I am looking forward to the rest of the series!
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
Funny, mysterious & weird... in a great way!
