Publisher's Synopsis
Six worlds. One wish.
When Emcie finds herself on a mysterious island, she has one desire: to get back to her older brother Benoit, who's just been diagnosed with cancer. But the island is a more magical place than it first seemed. Populated entirely by teenagers, everyone, it seems, is hoping for something. People disappear at random-and, as Emcie soon learns, they then appear in other worlds, where they complete different challenges. Complete enough challenges, go through enough worlds, and your wish? Granted. Desperate now to save her brother's life, Emcie travels through a fantastical China where astronomers bottle starlight, a desert world where nomads live in the eye of a sandstorm, an apocalyptic wasteland during WWII, a gas-giant science colony made of hot air balloons, and a private school for perfect children stationed on a cruise ship. Pursued by her secretive opponent Guanjun, Emcie fights her way through challenges and uncovers the truth about the island- and about her brother.
