They're just settling in to their new house when a boy named Leo, dressed in costume, rides by on his bike. Intrigued, Cedar follows him to the renowned Summerlost theatre festival.

Quotes I didn't know what I wanted, except to go back to how things used to be, and that could never happen, but I wanted it so bad that it didn't leave room to want much else. (21) "Whenever you do something and you're not an adult, people tell you to stop. Even when there's no real reason." (Leo to Cedar, 103) "You don't know to know someone all the way to miss them. Or to feel bad that they're gone." (Leo, 116) "You can't walk away every time they bother you. Sometimes there's nowhere to go." (Leo, 133) I pretended that the whole world had secret tunnels, where people could walk straight to wherever they really wanted to be and ignore all the meanness in the middle. (137) Until I met Leo I hadn't known you could understand someone so different from you so well. (190) It's not right that something so big, your entire life, depends on a million tiny things.
