Olivia Kidney and her dad have just moved to yet another high-rise apartment in New York. She is well-loved and cared for, but has trouble making friends since they move so much. When she accidentally gets locked out of their new apartment, she expects a boring, lonely wait for her dad. What she gets instead is magic and adventure. With giant man eating plants, seances, old ladies rocking in chairs on glass floors in apartments with glass ceilings, and a mysterious boy who doesn't seem to have a name, Olivia meets her neighbors. Finding that her new home is very unusual, she learns a lot about herself, too. Fantastic, and occult, but not at all scary, it is a perfect example of magical realism!
