Abilene who was once riding the rails with her father is dropped off with Shady in the town of Manifest. Abilene is given a box with trinkets and letters from her father as he sets out alone and she spends the summer in a town she isn't quite sure about. A woman the town claims to be a gypsy has Abilene doing odds and ends for her because Abilene accidently knocked over a valuable ceramic. Every time Abilene visits she hears a story - a story about a boy named Jinx and how he came to be apart of Manifest and its past. It is done beautifully, and the ending will probably surprise you - there are three mysteries to be solved. All in all, I say: READ IT - even if it is a young adult novel - it is a wonderfully written tale.
