HTML:<b>A book about life, loss, and the secrets families keep, reminiscent of Sharon Creech's <i>Walk Two Moons</i>, by National Book Award nominee Lisa Graff.</b><br /> <br /> CJ's Aunt Nic is a psychic medium who tours the country speaking to spirits from Far Away, passing on messages from the dearly departed. And CJ knows firsthand how comforting those messages can be — Aunt Nic's Gift is the only way CJ can talk to her mom, who died just hours after she was born.<br /> <br /> So when CJ learns that she won't be able to speak to her mother anymore, even with Aunt Nic's help, she's determined to find a work-around. She sets off on road trip with her new friend Jax to locate the one object that she believes will tether her mother's spirit back to Earth . . . but what she finds along the way challenges every truth she's ever known. Ultimately, CJ has to sort out the reality from the lies.<br /> <br /> National Book Award nominee Lisa Graff has written a poignant, heartfelt novel that explores the lengths we go to protect those we love — and the power secrets have to change our worlds.<br /> <br /> <b>Praise for</b> <b><i>Far Away</i></b><b>:</b><br /> <br /> * "Graff nimbly crafts a credible novel from the unlikely, shaping layered characters and unforeseen plot twists while exploring issues of truth and illusion—and the emotion-infused miasma that separates the two.
