Addie LaRue, The Midnight Library and Life of Pi meet in this
spellbinding novel of adventure, wonder and self-discovery.Paris,
1885: Aubry Tourvel, a spoiled and stubborn nine-year-old girl,
comes across a wooden puzzle ball on her walk home from school. She
tosses it over the fence, only to find it in her satchel that
evening. Days later, at the family dinner table, she is stricken by
a mysterious illness.When a visit to a doctor only makes her worse,
she flees to the outskirts of the city, where she discovers it is
this very act of movement that keeps her alive.So begins her
incredible lifelong journey on the run from her condition.From the
scorched dunes of the Calanshio Sand Sea, to the snow-packed peaks
of the Himalayas, from a bottomless well in a Parisian courtyard,
to the shelves of an infinite underground library, we follow Aubry
as she learns what it takes to survive and, ultimately, to truly
live. But the longer she wanders, the more she understands that the
world she travels through may not be quite the same as everyone
