Welcome to Litsy!

A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD GOLD STANDARD COLLECTION! This sweeping middle grade fantasy debut by Rochelle Hassan follows Roda and Ignis, who embark on an adventure filled with magic and mystery�perfect for fans of Howl�s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Roda isn�t afraid of the monsters that roam the wilds of the Aerlands. She�s safe in her small town, which is surrounded by a wall of freezing, enchanted mist that keeps the beasts away. So when Roda rescues an injured crow on the instruction of her secret pen pal, Anonymous�whose letters arrive without warning and correctly predict the future�she�s surprised to learn she�s brought one of the so-called monsters home. Because her crow is really a shape-shifting boy named Ignis. Ignis doesn�t remember where he was going before he crashed. But Anonymous brought him and Roda together for a reason�and the only way to find out what Anonymous wants is to follow the trail of baffling clues in Roda�s letters. Their perilous journey leads them into the mist and beyond, to a mysterious place called Nowhere. But Ignis has secrets, and the farther they get, the more Roda doubts she can trust him. As a nefarious force closes in, they�ll have to put aside their differences and work together. For they might be each other�s only defense against an enemy who threatens their past, present, and future.
