Caroline Starr Rose: Miraculous, Gebunden

Klappentext

A traveling medicine show promises to cure all, but two kids learn it takes more than faith in the miraculous to fix things that are broken.

Thirteen-year-old Jack knows it's his fault his baby sister almost died, and he also knows what saved her-Dr. Kingsbury's "Miraculous Tonic." Guaranteed to relieve maladies for man or beast, Dr. Kingsbury's potion can cure everything from pimples to hearing loss to a broken heart, and Jack himself is a witness to the miraculous results and the doctor's kindness. When he had not a dime to give, the doctor didn't turn him away but gave him the tonic for free along with a job-to travel with him from city to city selling his cure-all elixer.

When Dr. Kingsbury and Jack arrive in Oakdale, the town at first feels like any other they've been to. But then Jack meets Cora, who also thinks the doctor's tonic might be just the thing her family needs, and that with it perhaps even her broken family can be put back together again.

As Cora and Jack find a friendship neither expected, they also find out secrets they didn't expect either-secrets about the doctor. As they race to discover the truth, they'll have to decide who and what to believe in before it's too late for them or their town.
