A girl liberated from a carnival sideshow discovers her mysterious purpose in a moving novel about family, sacrifice, and transcendent love by #1\u00a0<\/b>New York Times<\/i><\/b>\u00a0bestselling author Dean Koontz.<\/b><\/p>\n

The human \u201coddities\u201d in the Museum of the Strange are less wondrous than the gawking rubes had been promised. But Alida is something else. The real thing. Traveling Depression-era America from carnival midways to speakeasies, Alida is resigned to an exploited and lonely life on the road as the museum\u2019s golden ticket. Until she\u2019s rescued by two compassionate strangers.<\/p>\n

Franklin and Loretta Fairchild see in Alida a gifted and uncannily well-read girl in need of a loving touch and a family. With the openhearted couple and their three precociously imaginative children, Alida finds it. Yet despite everyone\u2019s overwhelming generosity and acceptance, Alida knows she is still a very different kind of girl. Her dreams bear that out. They\u2019re vivid, unsettling, and threatening. Alida fears that they\u2019re also warnings. And that it\u2019s the Fairchilds who may need rescue from a bad, bad world.<\/p>\n

Alida will do anything to help those she now holds nearest and dearest. Empowered with a purpose to vanquish evil, she will not fail her family.<\/p>\n
