Synopsis

Welcome to the funny, sad, sometimes scary world of fifteen-year-old Allie Emerson, who's struggling to keep her act together in the small-town world of Peacock Flats, Washington. A zap from an electrical fence sets off Allie's weird psychic powers. The next thing she knows, she's being visited by a hippy-dippy guardian angel, and then her mysterious neighbor, the town witch, gives her an incredible moonstone pendant that has powers only a "Star Seeker" is meant to command. "Who me?" is Allie's first reaction. But as sinister events begin to unfold, Allie realizes she's got a destiny far bigger than she ever imagined.
