Kristyn
Taylor is a "chosen one"; an adopted child, a knowledge that has always
left her feeling incomplete and hurt. Fighting mild hypochondria, low
self-esteem and a perfect sister, Kristyn is returning home from school
one day, when she trips on a crack in the sidewalk and finds herself in
another world where her arrival portends its doom. "First World" is
losing its magical earthforce and turning into a desert. The birthmark
on Kristyn's arm marks her as the one foretelling the ending of "First
World" and the one chosen to save her own world. A reluctant,
fainthearted Kristyn learns she has the inner strength to use the power
of the wishbells to save Earth from having its earthforce drained by a
First World spell-speaker. In doing so, Kristyn finds her true family
and finds herself.
