Publisher's Synopsis
"Clever, emotional storytelling with laughs, tears and love." THE TIMES Haley Bombauer (a.k.a. Flash Jackson) confronts the summer of her seventeenth year with glorious anticipation. She envisions herself roaming the surrounding hillsides and forests on her beloved horse. But when she falls through the rotted roof of the barn, she is consigned to spending the summer in a thigh-high cast, stuck at home. The year that follows will transform Haley's life, for it gives her peculiar grandmother the chance to pass along some of the mystical arts that only she remembers. As Haley comes to realise who her grandmother is, she is transformed - from tomboy scamp to extraordinary, powerful woman.
