Summary
A traveling medicine show promises to cure all that ails, but thirteen-year-old Jack and his friend Cora learn it takes more than faith in the miraculous to fix things that are broken.
Dr. Kingsbury's "Miraculous Tonic" is guaranteed to relieve everything from pimples to hearing loss to a broken heart. Jack himself is a witness to the miraculous results and the doctor's kindness. Now Jack travels with him from city to city selling his cure-all elixir. When they arrive in Oakdale, the town at first feels like any other they've been to. Soon it is clear Oakdale is a town with secrets, and its citizens are slow to trust strangers. Jack develops a friendship with Cora, and they uncover something else they didn't expect-- not only secrets about the town but also Dr. Kingsbury. -- adapted from jacket
