Everyone in her village thinks she's crazy especially since no one has ever been to the farthest-away mountain. But one day when she is nearly 15 she hears the mountain calling her. Dakin sets off on a tantalizing journey that will change her life and the lives of others forever. From the Hardcover Library Binding edition.
