Michaela isn’t the kind of girl who falls for magical dresses. Or sparkly lies that whisper promises of perfection. She thought the weirdness was behind her. But now there’s a prom approaching, a glowing book from a garden that doesn’t exist on any map, and a choice that feels far bigger than fashion. With help from her loyal friend Nathan and a surprising ally who might just understand her more than she realises, Michaela is about to face her past — and decide who she really is. A thoughtful, funny, and empowering adventure about friendship, freedom, and choosing truth over illusion
