In this coming-of-age novel, a bullying incident catapults a young girl into a fantastical new world...
Fourteen and a half-year-old Georgie Ray Jones rockets beyond the tattered remnants of her self-confidence to save her siblings from an innuendo-charged family life and the stepdad she’ s dubbed Jackass.
Now living in Mystic Creek, Oregon with her dad, Georgie discovers her life as she once knew it will change forever. After her friend Shawn is pummeled by a dodgeball thrown by a bully, Georgie intervenes, only to send the bully flying across the schoolyard. Reeling with shock and worry, but fueled by a wildfire of inner metamorphosis, she searches for answers, but it is family friend Luther Andersen – lighthouse keeper, mystic, and professor – who explains she is meta-normal.
This is the day Luther has been waiting for.
Tanya D. Dawson has emerged from a life-long career in defense and intelligence as a fresh voice with the intention to spearhead exciting, beyond-normal fiction for YA readers— without plummeting into the deep dark, and with a sparkling of light. Though fictional, her work is authentic, diverse, and empowering.
