Summary

Right before Jade is about to leave for a summer art intensive, her best friend, Phoebe, attempts suicide. Jade is shaken and Phoebe is unreachable. How is Jade supposed to focus on herself right now? But at the Art Farm she has artistic opportunities she's been waiting for her whole life. As Jade gets to know her classmates, she begins to fall for whimsical, upbeat, comfortable-in-her-own-skin Mary, and pours herself into making ceramic monsters who vent her stress and the worst of her emotions. When Jade puts her creatures in the kiln, something magical happens, something that shouldn't be real: they come to life. And they're taking a stand: if Jade won't confront her problems, her problems are going to confront her. The biggest problem is the scariest one of all--if Jade grows, prospers, and even falls in love this summer, is she leaving Phoebe behind?
