Overview
A girl, a dare, and a mysterious creature.
Cecilia Blue LaRue is the only girl in her class, the only girl in her family of boys, and mad at her only friend. But then Honey Brooks moves in the neighborhood, and a rare blue lynx is spotted in the woods.
Celie sees adventure. Honey sees colors.
With a dare on the line, Celie and Honey focus on clues to finding the wildcat. The trouble is, finding the lynx among the hues and shadows of the forest is just as tricky as figuring out friendship-and knowing which secrets to tell, and which secrets to keep.
A vivid tale of friendship told through the lens of 1970s film photography.
