(4) YA Orphan Hayley goes to stay with her excitable relatives. She and her cousins play a forbidden game exploring the mythosphere: an alternate world peopled by mythological archetypes. Though the shifts between Hayley's reality and the dreamlike mythosphere are disjointed, and readers unversed in mythology and astronomy may be lost, the author's lyrical presentation of the hero's journey is innovative.
