“Normal” means different things to
different people. For
sixteen-year-old Sadie Larcen, family dynamics look a little
different than most. Parents with oddball occupations?
Normal. Five homeschooled siblings—one with autism?
Normal.
Police knocking on the door and parents gone missing?
Definitely not normal!
When Sadie uncovers the reasons behind her parents’
disappearance and the truth about her heritage, she despairs
of ever feeling normal again. Especially when she learns
that her mother’s interest in Bigfoot, Dwarves, and other
lore extends beyond her popular blog. Sadie’s family has
been entrusted with keeping the secrets of the Tethered
World—home to creatures that once roamed the Garden of
Eden.
Sadie and her siblings must venture into this
land to rescue
their parents. Stepping out of reality and into a world she
never knew existed is a journey Sadie fears and resents. But
she chooses to risk all to save her family.
She’s just
not sure she will survive in the process.
