As twins Tempest and Tally approach their thirteenth birthday, traveling with their grandfather's carnival for the summer, something is pulling them apart--not just figuratively but literally. Tally tries to combat this destructive magnetic energy alone but discovers that she must rely on Tempest's strengths, too, if there's hope of preserving their relationship. The story's magical realism blends well with the sisters' complicated bond.
