To Gracie, it's all pretty ho-hum, until a Dark Cloud comes looking for her little brother, Sam. Her parents pack the family into a used Winnebago and set out on an epic search for a safe place that most people say doesn't exist: the Extraordinary World. It's rumored to lie at the ends of the earth. To reach it, the Lockwoods will have to learn to believe in each other...and to trust that the world holds more possibilities than they've ever imagined. Perceptive, playful, and bittersweet, My Diary from the Edge of the World is a story about protecting those you love at all costs. Captured in diary form by an irresistible hero-ine, it's a coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of wonders; a gentle family portrait that sparkles with science, myth, magic, and the strange beauty of everyday marvels we sometimes forget to notice.”
