About Find the Girl A Fantasy Novel
Seventh grader Eta Dorcas has two fears, her fingertips glow blue and she captures a weasel in an Iowa cave. She hides the animal in a backpack until she takes it home and it escapes. When she finds the weasel in a woodpile behind the barn: it speaks.Eta dares not tell Dad, Grandma, sister Daria, nor brother Nathan. Ian, a seventeen-year-old sailor in the 1800s, is cursed to live as a 21st Century weasel unless he collects the silver, gold, and pearl spelled out in the anagram: ‘Find the Girl.’ Eta doesn’t believe she has magical powers. Yet, she’s an empowering spirit as she and Ian propel themselves in a Bayliner boat on three separate trips to 1859 Greece, Ireland, and the Mississippi River. The adventures blend harrowing intrigue, bond-building, and enlightenment without romance as Ian’s collectibles are not freely given and a "friend" betrays his trust. The pearl Eta finds adds to her Grandmother's family keepsake, which holds a clue to Eta's glowing blue fingertips.
