Thought-provoking contemporary fantasy from best-selling author Polly Ho-Yen.

Mae spends a lot of time in hospitals. She's had asthma since she was little and sometimes she just can't breathe. She was in hospital the very first time she saw the hole - a tear in the universe which seems to appear only to her. Before she knows it she is drawn into a parallel world, where things aren't quite the same...

This powerful fantasy story is full of big ideas and a great way to talk about chronic illness with children.
