Summary:"Sixteen-year-old Ellie McGill is fed up. Sure, for some, life insmall town Americana is idyllic. Nothing but picket fences and USO dances and holiday parades. But Ellie has long dreamed of towering mountains, tangled jungles, and most of all... traveling to the incredible South American Landmark Paradise Falls. Ellie thought these dreams made her strange, until she met her sweet best friend Carl (whenhe promptly broke his leg in her clubhouse). Carl is Ellie's closest confidante. He's also the only one able to talk her off a ledge. But things between them seem weird lately as Ellie grows increasinglyfrustrated with his quiet way of doing things. And is it just her, or are there new feelings bubbling up between them? Then Ellie begins her dream internship at the local zoo, where the flashy millionaire owner organizes an expedition to Paradise Falls to collect new specimens. But the star newcomer, a bird given to him by Charles Muntz himself, doesn't adjust well to his new home and Ellie is put in charge of its seemingly hopeless recovery. Carl advises Ellie to lay low, to not make waves. But that's not something Ellie has ever been good at. And when an opportunity comes for a last minute, emergency rescue mission, she decides to take it. Will Ellie's impulsiveness finally get the better of her? Or will she get the adventure she always wanted . . . and at what cost?"--Provided by publisher.

Author Notes:Liz Braswell spent her childhood reading fairy tales and going on adventures with her cat in the forest. She majored in Egyptology at Brown University (and, yes, she can write your name in hieroglyphs). After spending the next ten years producing video games, Liz began her career as a full-time writer with a retelling of Snow White called Snow , followed by Rx and the Nine Lives of Chloe King series. She is also the author of Stuffed, Stuffed 2: Into Darkness , and several Twisted Tales, including A Whole New World, Once Upon a Dream, As Old as Time, Straight On Till Morning, Unbirthday, and What Once Was Mine . The New York Times best-selling author lives in Brooklyn with a husband, two children, a cat, and four coffee trees--one of which has already produced a rather tolerable espresso.
