An Adventure that Spans Time and the Sea from the South Coast of
Maine to the Lands Behind the Northern Lights
Sim Spotswood decides not to keep his after school appointment
with Dr. McCreedy to get his teeth straightened. Instead he wanders
to the clam flats where Lost River meets the sea and where a Viking
ship, unearthed from the silt of a thousand years, sits like the
skeleton of a dragon in its cofferdam. Sim discovers buried in the
sand, a small medallion the size of a half dollar. That he should
be the one to find it is no accident. At least Dr. Asneath Plever
of the Smithsonian doesn't think so. Nor does Winifred Hazel Chit,
the Witch of thunderhead Cliff who has waited one hundred and
eleven years for Sim to undertake the adventure that now
unfolds.
As more of the medallions appear Sim encounters other searchers
including Splitface and Gold-Tipped-Smith who know the power of the
Starlight Medallions and want them for themselves. Sim, who has
never known his father, lies at night on the widows walk of his
home with his dog, Walter, watching the celestial canopy, waiting
for a shooting star upon which he can make his wish, the same wish
he has made every night for a long as he has known the words of the
wishing verse. Now as he travels with the Starlight Medallions to
places where no one has gone before, it seems that wish may come
true.
