Twelve year old Kirsta Williams had no idea the crystal pendant she found in an abandoned house near her home was magical or that it would transport her into another world. Lost and scared, she meets four elves that agree to help her find a way home; but the information they need may or may not be in a library fifty miles away. Desperate to get back to her family, Kirsta and her friends set out for the library. They have a week to get there in time to use the pendant during a full moon conjunction, and their journey is full of danger and problems, some of which are Kirsta's own doing. The town they're going to isn't friendly to elves, and if the information they need isn't in the library, Kirsta might not ever make it home.
