About this ebook
Suzy is growing up fast in troubled times. Crops are failing, the world is starving, and a shadowy global elite appears to be behind it all. But when Suzy decides to spy on her peculiar next-door neighbour, she discovers a lot more than she bargained for.
Is the turnip that lives in Mrs. Limpke’s secret backyard chamber just another cruciferous vegetable, or is it something else entirely? Perhaps even the key to unlocking mysteries of time and space that can save the world? These questions lead Suzy on an odyssey of exploration—and self-discovery—that takes her not just to the other side of the world but into parallel dimensions where her sense of reality is shaken to its core.
The mysterious turnip has powers that draw out Suzy’s own hidden potential. Powers that put her and her magical charge in great danger from dark forces that tolerate no rivals and no interference with their nefarious plans.
Years ago, Suzy’s parents disappeared, and her aunt and uncle can only do so much to protect her. Caught up in the struggle, along with a team of other “special” teens and their mentors, Suzy begins to realize that the magic she discovers through the turnip might not just save the world, but also hold the key to understanding the true nature of reality.
But how can Suzy unlock the secrets of time and space while dealing with all the awkward struggles of a young teen? Can her quest to understand herself and her place in this perilous world succeed in a universe that is weirder and harder to comprehend than she could ever have imagined?
