The Black Fire Chronicles Kim Rigby

Disaster. An old woman. A mysterious hare. A coming-of-age, standalone novel in the Black Fire Chronicles universe, that visits the past, the future, and the enchanting worlds in between. Eight-year-old Dorothy Brown is less than impressed when a local tragedy forces her into the part-time care of her elderly neighbour. But Aunty Colleen is full of surprises, and her incredible tales rival Dorothy's beloved Enid Blyton stories. Dorothy's magical days with the old woman come to an abrupt end, and she retreats to the safety of the garden, her books and daydreams. An oversized hare reveals himself to Dorothy. He is the Seer, and he presents an opportunity too good to refuse: the chance to time step and experience the worlds described by Aunty Colleen. Dorothy's delight is short-lived, as a haphazard time step to New York City ends in sorrow. Now a teenager, the Seer calls upon Dorothy to assist a special boy in the future - Andrew Adler. Is she up to the task, or will Dorothy's daydreaming lead to further heartache?
