Las brujas se rigen por tres normas irrompibles: esconde tu magia, mantén la cabeza gacha y aléjate del resto de brujas. Por eso, Mika Moon está acostumbrada a estar sola, pero todo cambia cuando le llega un mensaje inesperado rogándole que viaje a Nowhere House, una mansión misteriosa, para enseñar a tres niñas a controlar sus poderes. Al romper todas las reglas y aceptar el desafío, Mika descubrirá en los confines de Nowhere House secretos enterrados, nuevos amigos y un malhumorado bibliotecario irlandés que piensa vigilarla de cerca.

Recently her anxiety has been getting out of control, but one thing that has always soothed her is drawing.

One day, her sketchbook's calming effect is broken when her mythological characters begin springing to life and Kiki is pulled into the mystical world she drew.

Fresh from the exciting discovery that the beautiful kingdom and band of rebel kids she drew in her sketchbook exists in another world, Kiki Kallira has an unexpected visitor. One of the rebels has come into the real world to ask for her help—the river Kaveri that is Mysore's only source of water has suddenly vanished!

This modern, groundbreaking YA anthology explores the complexity and beauty of interracial and LGBTQ+ relationships where differences are front and center. When people ask me what this anthology is about, I'm often tempted to give them the complicated answer: It's about race and about how being different from the person you love can matter but how it can also not matter, and it's about Chinese pirate ghosts, black girl vigilantes, colonial India, a flower festival, a garden of poisons, and so, so much else.  

For fans of the Aru Shah and Serpent's Secret series, this action-packed fantasy-adventure sees a girl's drawings of Indian mythology spring to vivid life--including the evil god who seeks to enter the real world and destroy it. Kiki Kallira has always been a worrier. Did she lock the front door?...
