Overview

When fourteen-year-old Cassie is sent to a weekend artists' retreat at an abandoned psychiatric facility, she expects to be bored. What she finds instead is a labyrinth where stories have power, reality bends like watercolor, and something sinister lurks beneath the promise of ""finding your voice."" The retreat at the Stacks, a sprawling former factory complex with a dark history, is nothing like the brochure promised. Hallways stretch impossibly long, rooms flood with indoor rain, and a clever rook needs help finding its way home. Guided by an eccentric scholar in a wheelchair and a mysterious new friend named Tara, Cassie must navigate a place where the line between story and reality has dangerously blurred. As Cassie comes to grips with the fact that she's naturally attuned to the narrative forces that shape our world, she suddenly finds out she's caught in someone else's story. To save her new friends and find her way home, she has to stop being a passenger in her own life, and claim the power to tell her story in her own voice. Part hero's journey, part meditation on creativity and control, A Storytelling weaves mythology, literature, and magic into an adventure about the power we all have to write our own lives if we're brave enough to pick up the pen.
