Summary:
"
Annie
Lumsden
has hair that drifts like seaweed, eyes that shine like rock pools, and thoughts that dart and dance like minnows. She lives with her artist mother by the
sea
, where she feels utterly at home, and has long felt apart from the other girls at school. Words and numbers on the page don't make sense to her, and strange maladies have been springing up that the doctors can't explain.
Annie
's mother says that all things can be turned into tales, and often she tells her daughter stories about the rocks she paints like faces, or the smoke that wafts from chimneys, or who
Annie
's dad is. But one day
Annie
asks her mother for a different tale, something with better truth in it--and on that same day a stranger in town, drawn to the sight of a
girl
who seems akin to the
sea
, helps
Annie
understand how special she is."--From the publisher.
