This thought-provoking middle grade book is about fate and the power of choice. Willow has become a miniature adult in her family. Her younger brother is deathly sick and undiagnosed despite endless tests; their mom is obsessed with curing the boy, with Willow ignored; and their dad has moved out, unable to handle anything. In the thick one of snowstorm, Willow, her mom, and brother wreck their car but find themselves promptly rescued by people from a small town. But Willow is soon unnerved by the weird way townsfolk predict what she will do. It’s like... magic.
I really enjoyed this book, and I really would have loved it as a kid. Willow is easy to relate to—smart, complicated, and nosy about the town secrets. Her family dynamics felt realistic. The moral dilemma presented by the book is handled well, too. It would open up opportunities for deep discussions between kids and adults about what they would choose and why. ( )
