Illustrated by
Jaime Zollars.
While her parents search for her missing brother, George (short for Georgina) answers her uncle's plea for help. Joined by two orphans and a snarky talking map, George journeys through hidden worlds to reassemble the mystical Council of Seven and prevent a cataclysmic meteor shower. An instantly likable heroine, inventive worlds, offbeat humor, and detailed chapter-opening pencil drawings enhance this winning debut.
