But when her father goes missing, Makeda will have to discover her own talent--and reconcile with Abby--if she\'s to have a hope of saving him .
There\'s even a resident band, led by the charismatic (and attractive) building superintendent.
In Cheerful Rest, a run-down warehouse space, Makeda finds exactly what she\'s been looking for: an opportunity to live apart from Abby and begin building her own independent life.
Today, Makeda has decided it\'s high time to move out and make her own life among the other nonmagical, claypicken humans--after all, she\'s one of them.
Ever since Abby\'s magical talent began to develop, though, in the form of an unearthly singing voice, the sisters have become increasingly distant.
