When Tim moves to his grandparent's village, everything seems mysterious. Why are there no flowers anywhere? Who is the weeping woman wandering through the midnight streets? And what is the secret of the empty house on Falling Star Hill? The mystery deepens when Tim meets Sarre, a girl from another world. She leads Tim to the place she comes from—a magical, old-fashioned land connected to his own by falling stars, where flowers are guarded like treasures. Yet Tim soon discovers that it is much more complicated to return from that world than it is to enter it, and he must struggle through challenges and adventures in order to find the portal that can bring him home to his family.
