What would you do if your eccentric, possibly magical aunt invited you to learn to 'live the world'? Would you accept even if you had no idea what she meant? Twelve-year-old Zelia said, 'Yes!' And the magic began.When twelve-year-old Zelia agrees to spend the summer with her Aunt Joy, she hopes for a peaceful, not-too-boring vacation from her parents. But from the moment she sees her aunt dancing up the road in her kaleidoscopic dress, she realizes she’s in for an adventure. Soon Zelia abandons everything she thought she knew about herself and the 'real world' as she claims a new name, dives into a magical book, embarking on the dual path to discover her own surprising powers. They encounter mythical creatures, including a wise power bestowing unicorn. They meet talking animals and trees, learn to see fairies again, travel from the Earth to the stars right into a magic wand garden. As they journey, they gather a joyful, wise-cracking band of travelers and later call themselves The Crystalline Heart Family.It’s not just the magical creatures that surprise her. However, she is fascinated to learn the true story about unicorns’ disappearance and discover that 'pretend' creatures like Puff the Magic Dragon and the Purple People Eater are based on real interdimensional friendships.
