Book Description

They say practice makes perfect. But what if perfection were possible...without any practice at all? Imagine: Your first-ever cartwheel, a perfect ten-and your second, and your third, and every cartwheel after that. Your back-handsprings, Olympian. Your paintings, photo realistic. Anything and everything ever attempted: a cinch, a masterpiece, the state of the art. All on the very first try. Impossible? Sure, for the average girl. But for nine-year-old Lily Lilac, repeating what she's seen with her own two eyes is as easy as humming what she's heard with her own two ears. For Lily, a perfect performance isn't just possible: It's only natural. All she needs, just once, is for someone to show her how. But even perfect girls must live in imperfect worlds. When the unthinkable upends Lily's peaceful, prairie life, she's forced to make her escape-only to swiftly make an entrance, in a place she never expected. A place that expected her even less. There, Lily's search for refuge becomes a search for answers, and her powers become her only hope for survival.
