Rialto
Ivy and Dahlia know their family trip to Rialto, Missouri, will be unlike their usual vacations. Dahlia, an artist with anxiety, looks forward to change. But Ivy, struggling with how to be the right kind of big sister, longs for how things were when they were younger. When they arrive, they find the town deep in a forest that supposedly swallowed Rialto and the old theme park outside of town–overnight. Dahlia catches glimpses of impossible creatures. And their friend Remy’s been tasked to deliver bequests left by an aunt for local friends, drawing all three into a mystery from the days before Rialto Park closed. To solve it, they will have to believe in magic.
