Description

Annie Nobody thought she was, well, nobody, living in a nowhere town where nothing goes her way. Day 1 at her newest foster home proves to be dreadful, too . . . and things get even worse when she s chased by something big and scary that definitely wants to eat her. Luckily for Annie, not everything is what it seems, and she gets swept up–literally–by a sassy dwarf on a hovercraft snowmobile and taken to Aurora, a hidden, magical town on the coast of Maine. There, she finds a new best friend in Jamie Hephastion Alexander–who thought he was a normal kid (but just might be a troll)–and Annie discovers that she s not exactly who she thought she was, either. She s a Time Stopper, meant to protect the enchanted.Together, Annie and Jamie discover a whole new world of magic, power, and an incredible cast of creatures and characters. But where there s great power, there are also those who want to misuse it, and Aurora is under siege. It s up to the kids to protect their new home, even if it means diving headfirst into magical danger.Awards for NeedAn Indiebound Next PickA YALSA BBYA Nominee
