After his mother's death, Owen and his father move to rural New York. Owen discovers an injured girl named Campion hiding in the woods and believes her fable about waiting for her parents' spaceship. DeFelice infuses the story with heart and grounds it in details. Even inexperienced mystery readers will guess Cam's secret, but they'll enjoy seeing Owen's growing competence.
