Sixteen-year-old Heather Lucas is the freakgirl who got hit by lightning, and she has a scar on her palm to prove it. Sincethen, everything has gotten weird. Her mother left them, which makes no sense.Her Dad thinks she's a liar, because she won't explain why she keeps runningaway.The thing is, she can't explain it. She just disappears and then reappearsmiles away, with the scar on her palm tingling. In between, she drifts in asparkling blue void outside of time and space, where indistinct forms of peoplefloat by, lost in the blue. Is she going crazy? Odd things are even happening at school. Whywould the new boy, Alex, be interested in her? He shows her a paper he's writtenabout a place called Alanar. The make-believe city from Mom's old bedtimestories? What does he know about her mother? Heather is determined to find out,especially after she sees the scar on his palm, identical to her own.
