IF YOU COULD NEVER STAY  WHERE WOULD YOU GO?   Escape into this spellbinding novel of adventure
wonder and self-discovery  for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue   The Midnight Library
and Life of Pi .    Paris  1885: Aubry Tourvel  a spoiled and stubborn nine-year-old girl 
comes across a wooden puzzle ball on her walk home from school. She tosses it over the fence 
only to find it in her satchel that evening. Days later  at the family dinner table  she starts
to succumb to a mysterious illness.  When a visit to a doctor only makes her worse  she flees
to the outskirts of the city  where she realises that it is this very act of movement that
keeps her alive. So begins her incredible lifelong journey around the world . . .  From
scorched sand dunes to snow-packed mountain peaks  from a bottomless well in a Parisian
courtyard to the shelves of an infinite underground library  we follow Aubry as she learns what
it takes to survive and  ultimately  to truly live. But it soon becomes clear that the world
she travels through is not quite the same as everyone else's.   *LONGLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN
