IN 1913 Daisy Van Wyck receives a birthday gift from her world-famous magician uncle: a leather-bound journal to fill with her nearly thirteen-year-old hopes and dreams. Using her uncle’s spell-book, Daisy secretly tries to contact her dead mother. But when the spell goes disastrously wrong, Daisy becomes trapped inside the journal, leaving her in a time warp for the next hundred years. The journal takes on a mysterious life of its own when unsuspecting thirteen-year-olds from different eras visit Daisy’s house and write about their own lives. Every journal writer plays a part in piecing together Daisy’s disappearance and discovers something about themselves in the process. Can anyone figure out how to free Daisy? Whether facing a bully, chasing a time-traveling cat, finding a freaky fortune cookie or losing a friend, each writer reveals a unique take on a timeless truth: being thirteen is never easy.
