From the Publisher
"Twelve-year-old Granite "Gran" Flowerpetal has just moved from the sunny coast to a hilly inland town full of trouble and mystery. He feels unheard at home and invisible at school--and then there's the issue of the many buildings in town collapsing into the earth. What can be done? One person, Gran's intriguing but difficult-to-please classmate, Catalina Catalan, knows what to do. But she avoids Gran like the plague. Will she reveal what happens underground? Will she tell Gran about the Hollows? The Lifters? And how the town, and the world, might be saved?"
My Comments
Intriguing. A little strange. What I found interesting is the fact that none of the adults in the book confronted the reality that the town was sinking. They continued as if this was a normal situation. You can interpret it metaphorically or take it on the face as a good adventure story.
