Hollowell builds a magical atmosphere with ominous, spooky overtones. Following disembodied voices, Derry ventures into the forest alone at night to try to discover what happened to her sisters and maybe learn more about her powers, her home, and herself. One by one, older sisters disappear without a trace, while the remaining sisters and their nonbinary sibling question their safety within the house. But danger has come to this found family. Their guardian, a middle-aged nonmagical White man called Frank, monitors their powers’ progress and sets strict rules to protect them, including not going outside without permission, especially not into the nearby forest. Each has unique abilities that qualify them as alchemists Derry can grow and manipulate plants, even imagined ones. This girl will do whatever she can to protect her family.ĭerry, 16, is one of nine young people living in an isolated lake house in Indiana.
