* &ldquo\;Wondrous elements of fabulism and the affectio n between grandfather and granddaughter combine to form something greater than the sum of their parts . . . a dazzling\, heartfelt journey through f ading memories.&rdquo\; &mdash\;Kirkus Reviews\, STARRED review
\n\n
Cassi loves spending time with her grandfather. His g ames\, songs\, and stories have always brought her endless joy. This visit with him\, though\, is different: Grandpa seems to be losing track of thi ngs\, including everything from the stories they&rsquo\;re sharing to who Cassi herself is. So when he goes missing after wandering off from his own backyard\, Cassi knows she has to figure out where he&rsquo\;s gone.
\ nWhat she discovers is a world filled with memories\, none of them her own. As she leaps from one memory to the next\, she knows she&rsquo\;s get ting closer and closer to finding her grandfather&mdash\;but only if she c an make sure he doesn&rsquo\;t slip away forever.
