Three middle school students embark on a quest to find a book that may just save their lives in this spectacular novel about fate and friendship--from the Newbery Award-winning author of When You Trap a Tiger.
Once there was a tree. There was a tree. There was a tree. Until the tree fell. And then there was a book.
When best friends Nomi, Vi, and Arthur were younger, they found a book that could predict the future. It was so very satisfying and comforting to know what was coming. But as the friends drifted apart, they forgot about the book. Except for Nomi. The final prediction says “How do you turn a girl into flame. You’ll never be the same.” What does it mean? It sounds dangerous--especially with wildfires raging in the distance. Nomi just knows there’s a sequel to the book; if only they could find it, everything would make sense.
As Nomi teams up once again with Vi and Arthur, they must navigate their complicated feelings about each other, their fears of the unknown, and the risks they aren’t sure how to take. In the end, will they be able to fight destiny?
