It's the first night of summer, and fifteen year-old Sara James is sleeping outside on her backyard trampoline with her best friend, Kai. Sara awakens in the middle of the night to a beautiful, starry sky. There's a sudden flash of light, and an angelic woman appears, floating on the night air with her magnificent, sparkling-white wings outstretched. She introduces herself as Anjalie, and invites Sara to join her on a quest. Normally cautious and reserved, Sara feels a sense of excitement at the possibility of flying, and agrees. As Anjalie gently touches Sara's hand, she is elevated into the sky next to her. Together they fly away from Sara's home in Arizona, to the coast, and over the Pacific Ocean. They soar across the water, and into the subtle dimension of Earth: an unmapped, tropical region complete with turquoise water and white-sand beaches, called Satchandia. Here, anything can happen, including falling in love with a rugged, green-eyed boy and body-surfing with mermaids. To stay one step ahead of the dark force that desires her failure, Sara transforms into the superhero version of herself. This American girl will never be the same.
