Ivy Mae Bloom, whose name is one letter away from a complete sentence, has lived her entire life on the road with her mama, a fallen star who travels to tend to the magic of the world. When Ivy steals her Mama's wish jars to find a forever home, they end up stranded in Whistling Ridge, North Carolina with her star aunts. Ivy believes Whistling Ridge is her forever home, but a mysterious force is draining the town's magic, and solving it might mean her family will move again.
