Overview

Phoebe is a bright, imaginative, and sensitive young girl . . . and also a little bit shy. When her family decides to move across Canada, Phoebe worries about making new friends, and starting over at a new school. But she knows she can count on her best friend (and best fish) Tango. After the big move, Tango starts acting a little strangely. He isn't even swimming around his favourite pirate ship! Phoebe thinks he may be sick and doesn't want to leave him while she attends school. But that isn't the only reason why she wants to stay home. Phoebe hasn't told her parents that there are two bullies at school who make her life miserable. She bottles up all of her emotions, and runs away from her problems by escaping to the natural world, where she feels better. Along the way, Phoebe discovers a special place, where she meets talking animals and dancing plants. Where are Phoebe's adventures taking her? Is it just her active imagination, a fantasy, or has Phoebe discovered a secret world? Phoebe's journey deals with change, loss, and grief, but at its core is Phoebe's transformation from a vulnerable little girl to a brave and resilient one.
