Synopsis

~ Sequel to the multi-award-winning Becoming Jesse ~

Today is the day. Jesse O’Neil is embarking on his quest to find his disappeared grandmother, Jessica, on a remote island in New England. He has solved every puzzle, uncovered every secret, saved every penny, and planned every detail. He is ready to go, sure that nothing can go wrong. But, oh, how very mistaken he is. First, Jesse has to get out of jail.

Join Jesse on his tantalizing journey from bustling New York City to the wonders of rural island life, leading him straight into a nest of bedeviling secrets on Windy Hill Farm.

As he encounters heart-rattling escapades, unexpected mysteries, and menacing perils, he tries to hold fast to his everyday magic – shining out from a heart that is still becoming, learning to trust, to love and lose … and love all over again.

Featuring classic illustrations and words that beg to be read aloud.
