Coming March 16, 2027 From Wildthorn Reads!

“Swear you’ll forget Elsewhere. Swear you won’t talk about it anymore. It never happened. It was just a game we played.”

As children, the three Ellison sisters are wandering the grounds of the family’s mysterious seaside hotel when they impulsively steal a magical book that leads to another world. The two younger sisters, Ellery and Agatha, step inside. Margery, the oldest, stays behind.
 
Ellery and Agatha find themselves on the breathtaking island of Elsewhere and spend years surviving alongside two boys whose stories of how they landed on the island mirror their own. Meanwhile, Margery spends a single afternoon eluding the men they stole the book from. When Ellery and Agatha reappear, they tell a dangerous story of love and betrayal. Hoping to protect themselves, Margery and Ellery vow to keep their knowledge of the island a secret, and convince Agatha her memories of Elsewhere was only a childish game they played…
 
As adults, the sisters are estranged. Agatha is searching for the magic she thinks she’s never had. Ellery is a bestselling author still mourning the love she left behind on Elsewhere. Margery’s marriage is collapsing, and she’s wishing she could turn her life back to the chance she didn’t take, and find the adventures she’s never had. But all three are brought together by a dangerous society who’s searching for the book, with a vision of remaking our world into something unrecognizable. 

Propulsive and lyrical, The Book of Lost Chances is a love letter to the power of make believe, of bedtime stories told under the cover of stars, and to the child in all of us who still wants to believe in the wonder of a magic wardrobe.
