Hush Hush

A lonely girl gets the chance to make her dreams come true, but a hurricane is coming...

Espy Rojas lives in Whisper, Mississippi, but she has nobody to whisper to except her invisible friend Sylas. When Espy meets Tonka, a mysterious creature in a cicada husk, she is overjoyed to hear that Tonka can help her make Sylas real. After Tonka teaches Espy the secret skill of using the Lines, Espy realizes she can use her newfound power to coax her schoolmates into being her friends, too. But just when everything should be going so well, Espy begins to wonder if Tonka's power might not be the key to friendship she thought it was.
