From the Hardcover edition.
In this stirring conclusion to The Various (2004) and Celandine (2006), Midge and her family are moving to Mill Farm, where Midge cherishes a photograph of her great-aunt Celandine and wisps of memory of the Various, little winged folk, engaged in fierce disagreement over an ancient pair of artifacts, the Orbis and Touchstone. Midge discovers Celandine still alive in a local nursing home, where she’s kept the all-but-forgotten Orbis. As the wee folk deal with wild passion and difficult politics, Midge tries to find a connection with them. A tender love story between members of two rival Various groups makes a powerful and occasionally grim subplot. Grades 7-10. --GraceAnne A. DeCandido
