NARRATOR: Cassandra MorrisFORMAT: 7 CDs, UnabridgedMidnight Gulch used to be a magical place, a town where people could sing up thunderstorms and dance up sunflowers. But that was long ago, before a curse drove the magic away. Twelve-year-old Felicity knows all about things like that; her nomadic mother is cursed with a wandering heart.But when she arrives in Midnight Gulch, Felicity thinks her luck’s about to change. A “word collector,” Felicity sees words everywhere—shining above strangers, tucked into church eves, and tangled up her dog’s floppy ears—but Midnight Gulch is the first place she’s ever seen the word “home.” And then there’s Jonah, a mysterious, spiky-haired do-gooder who shimmers with words Felicity’s never seen before, words that make Felicity’s heart beat a little faster.

“From every angle, Lloyd’s first novel sparkles and radiates warmth…Working in the folksy vein of
Ingrid Law’s Savvy, Lloyd offers a reassuring, homespun story about
self-expression and the magic that resides in one’s mind and heart.”—
