Selected by Indie Booksellers for the June 2009 Indie Next List“Twelve-year-old Gwenni can fly in her sleep, and, from this unusual perspective, she sees many things that others overlook. When her neighbor in a small Welsh village disappears, Gwenni begins an investigation to find him. Along the way, she uncovers her own family's secrets, but she never wavers from her determination to discover the truth. Gwenni is an unforgettable character and seeing life through her eyes is the true magic in this novel.”
