Summary
There are two kinds of aventure: 1. The kind that involves unicorns and lollipops. 2 The kind that inolves escaping form a prison-like orphanage, falling off an exploding mountain, and getting fireballed by a dragon (or possibly eaten by a zombie shark). This is a story about the second kind. Anne has spent most of her thirteen years scrubbing dirty hallways and laboring in dark mines at Saint Lupin's orphanage, dreaming of finding her true home and of becoming an adventurer alongside her best friend, Penelope. Her dreams finally seem within reach ... until Anne is denied her rightful ticket out of Saint Lupin's. Determined to leave the controlling Matron and her life of chores behind, Anne's daring escape plan takes a surprising turn when a mysterious medallion fuses to her hand. Anne, Penelope, and their new questing partner, Hiro, have just days to solve unsolvable riddles and triumph over undefeatable foes - or face the horrible consequences.
