    Summary

    But then Mike sees something new, something he’s never encountered in these woods before.

    It’s a circle of trees, just off to his left. The way the sunlight shines down on the clearing in the center is what catches his eye, making the air look all soft and hazy under the glow. The ground in the clearing is blanketed by lush grasses and tiny patches of flowers.

    And, in the middle of all of this, is a girl....

    -

    When Mike is 11, he meets a girl in the woods.

    ...Or does he?

    Summary

    He'd been called every name in the book: No-Leaf Clover, Black Cat, Captain Catastrophe, Star Crossed (he had Grandma Wheeler to thank for that outdated term).

    His inexplicable bad luck was something that Mike desperately hoped he’d grow out of.

    He hadn’t of course.

    Summary

    Last year during summer El had been stuck in the cabin with only a noisy fluttering fan for company and the summer months had dragged on endlessly.

    For El, who had grown up in a temperature controlled windowless room with neat rows of white tiles and to whom things like the wind, sunshine, rain and snow had only been concepts she had read about in storybooks, the relentless heat and humidity had been almost unbearable.
