Sixteen-year-old Ben Powell is second at everything. He's good at history but not at sports. Even his fourteen-year-old sister, Addison, has a special talent- she can change into a horse. When Addison is called to live permanently in their favorite fantasy land of Summerville, Ben is jealous.
But Ben develops a special talent of his own- inheriting other people's memories. Soon, he, too, is called to Summerville as a Keeper of Memory. The Keepers are revered in Summerville, but the journey there will not be the easy escape to paradise that Ben remembers from his childhood. Even as Ben doubts his calling, remaining at home has its perils.
Can Ben make the journey safely into Summerville?
