She's lost her home. She's lost her dog. But she hasn't lost hope.

12-year-old Ember's trailer home has burned in a fire set most likely by her best friend, a boy whose father believes Ember's family are witches. yes, Ember's mom reads tarot cards as a business. Ember's friend set the fire to warn the family before his dad did something worse to them. The friend never intended to do so much damage.

Now, the family is homeless and living in a campground. They have no money. Ember's beloved dog is missing. School is going to start, and Ember and her sister have no clean clothes, no notebooks. The only place Ember feels at peace is floating in the middle of the lake at the campground. She has to make a fresh start. Can she?

"An enthralling tale that demystifies Wicca, humanizes homeless families and inspires reflection on friendship, forgiveness and moving forward." -Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
