NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Lan, a teenager who recently came to Canada from Vietnam, spends every day searching for a sense of belonging. Books are the only things that make her feel at ease. But it comes as a shock when a mysterious wind whisks her right into the pages of her latest fantasy read. More shocking still is the fact that she herself summoned this wind!

Plunged into the magical world of Silva, Lan realizes she has much to offer protagonists Annabelle and Marlow. Once a homesick reader and bystander rooting for the very characters that now stand before her, Lan is a budding witch who suddenly has the power to help their quest. As Lan faces off against tree guardians, moving corn mazes, hearteaters and thoughtless kings, she finds that Silva is not so different from Canada: new homes can be messy. Now, torn between several places at once, Lan begins to confront an important question: how do you redefine a lost home?
