I lie awake, thinking of Max and what has become of him. No one believes Charlie when she tells them what happened to Max at the Mill Pool. The doctors and her mother think she is in shock; even her sympathetic brother James cannot begin to understand. So as she recovers in the hospital bed, Charlie vows to hunt for Max alone. She knoes that Max is out there somewhere. And to catch up with him, she'll follow his trail wherever it goes - even beyond the limits of this world. And she'll never give up, no matter what the cost. For Charlie knows that the unbelievable is true.
