(2) 4-6 Gina couldn't be more surprised to discover that her ultra-rational father is seeing a psychic than if she found out he was turning into a bear--which, coincidentally, is what's happening to Jamie's father. Two parallel stories of family secrets--one set in modern-day Ohio, the other in a lush fairy-tale woods--gradually swirl together to form an intriguing puzzle. Even for readers not swayed by New Age beliefs, it's easy to get caught up in Lyon's fluid vision of reality.
