1933. When Ellie and her family lose everything, they flee to echo mountain. Ellie explores the mountain's mysteries. But she can't solve who's leaving the gifts for her: tiny carvings of animals and flowers, dotted around for her to find. Then her father has a terrible accident. When she sets out to find a cure for him, she discovers Cate, the outcast witch, and Larkin, a wild mountain boy. Then she learns about being a healer, being brave - and how there can be more to a person than first meets the eye.
