They safeguard each other's secrets and entwine their dreams. Micah wants to save his parents from the cult leader who calls himself "the Prophet." Sesame recently lost the last of her own family--her grandmother--and, to avoid foster care, plans to keep a low profile until she turns eighteen. Together, they never doubt they can build the futures they want. <p/>Until Micah disappears. The Prophet has taken Micah, his parents, and the rest of his followers underground. And trying to take on the Prophet in isolation, surrounded by his followers, proves to be a dangerous mistake that leaves Micah at the Prophet's mercy and losing all hope. <p/>Sesame, left alone, is wracked with fear over what could be happening to Micah. Never before have the two of them been so far apart--or needed each other more. But their faith in each other never wavers, and that might just be enough to save them both.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A thoughtful, realistic story of survival."--Kirkus Reviews<br><br>"An engrossing abduction tale whose pages will feel like they're turning themselves."--School Library Journal<br><br>"Perfect for readers searching for a realistic story about goodness in the face of evil."--Booklist<br><br>"Readers looking for a gripping story of the power of human connection in the face of seeming hopelessness will find that here."--BCCB<br><br>"Watching two in difficult circumstances teens work through fear and toward bravery is gratifying."--Publishers Weekly<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alison McGhee is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Someday</i>, as well as <i>Dear Sister</i>, <i>Maybe a Fox </i>with Kathi Appelt, <i>Firefly Hollow</i>, <i>Little Boy</i>, <i>So Many Days</i>, <i>Star Bright</i>, <i>A Very Brave Witch</i>, and the Bink and Gollie books.
