This fantasy story is a mysterious tale of one girl's life and is a book that I recommend those with a love for magical adventures must read. Cassandra Klein is a young girl whose thirteenth birthday changes her life forever. It starts just like every other one of her birthdays with her quirky twin Aunts, Magda and Marta, counting down the seconds to the exact moment when she was born, with her stern Aunt Katerina sitting with Uncle William and Grandma Oma sitting smiling at Caz and her best friend Simon looking eagerly at the lop-sided cake and her father sitting in his favourite chair and evil Dr Protus sitting near by.

But from the moment that her father gives her, her Mother's necklace everything changes and Caz is transported to a world for dreamers, where she starts the long journey and search for her mother.

I found this mystical book fun to read and it shows you that no matter how far fetched your dreams may be its still possible for miracles to happen. I think it's a great book, impossible to put down.
