Sylvie and Jules, Jules and Sylvie. Better than just sisters, better than best friends, theyād be identical twins if only theyād been born in the same year. And if only Sylvie wasnāt such a fastāfaster than fastārunner. But Sylvie is too fast, and when she runs to the river theyāre not supposed to go anywhere near to throw a wish rock just before the school bus comes on a snowy morning, she runs so fast that no one sees what happensā¦and no one ever sees her again. Jules is devastated, but she refuses to believe what all the others believe, thatālike their motherāher sister is gone forever.
At the very same time, in the shadow world, a shadow fox is bornāhalf of the spirit world, half of the animal world. She too is fastāfaster than fastāand she senses danger. Sheās too young to know exactly what she senses, but she knows something is very wrong. And when Jules believes one last wish rock for Sylvie needs to be thrown into the river, the human and shadow worlds collide.
