Spolu s kamarátom Rafem rýchlo objavia súvislosť medzi jednou zo starých kníh a dávnym požiarom, o ktorom nikto z dospelých nechce hovoriť. Najmä Evanov otec, ktorý sa začne správať mimoriadne zvláštne... Podarí sa chlapcom vypátrať, čo sa pred dvadsiatimi rokmi naozaj stalo?

Things are changing, Bea. But there's still a lot you can count on. Okay? Things that won't EVER change. After her parents' divorce, Bea's life became different in many ways. But she can always look back at the list she keeps in her green notebook to remember the things that will stay the same.

Bea loves Jesse, and when he and Dad get married, she'll finally (finally!) have what she's always wanted--a sister. Even though she's never met Jesse's daughter, Sonia, Bea is sure that they'll be just like sisters anywhere. As the wedding day approaches, Bea will learn that making a new family brings questions, surprises, and joy, and readers will discover why the New York Times called Rebecca Stead a writer of great feeling.
