Teenage sisters Chloe and Shana recall fondly the days when their mother wove stories about kingdoms under the sea. Now that Mom is “away,” Chloe does not allow herself to believe in fairy tales. She is too busy caring for her adopted brother, Micah, because Dad has become withdrawn. Shana copes by escaping every night under the cover of Goth garb. The day the family visits Mom for the first time is the day Chloe learns why Shana will never allow their mother to return. It is up to the sisters to pull together and form a new definition of family.
“Teens will relate both to Chloe’s desire to ameliorate and to Shana’s icy urge to distance herself from pain. Co-authors Barkley and Hepler offer a seamless, striking story.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
