She lives with her artist mother by the sea, where she feels utterly at home, and has long felt apart from the other girls at school. Words and numbers on the page don't make sense to her, and strange maladies have been springing up that the doctors can't explain. Annie's mother says that all things can be turned into tales, and often she tells her daughter stories about the rocks she paints like faces, or the smoke that wafts from chimneys, or who Annie's dad is. But one day Annie asks her mother for a different tale, something with better truth in it--and on that same day a stranger in town, drawn to the sight of a girl who seems akin to the sea, helps Annie understand how special she is. Featuring Beatrice Alemagna's expressive illustrations, this enchanting coming-of-age tale by the award-winning David Almond borrows from lore and flirts at the edges of mystery.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Almond \u003c\/b\u003eis the acclaimed author of many novels for children, including \u003ci\u003eSkellig\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKit's Wilderness\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Color of the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWar Is Over\u003c\/i\u003e, and he has collaborated with many artists on fiction for younger readers.
