All twelve-year-old Charlotte Redland wants is the choice to choose her own path in life, despite the plans her domineering mother has for her; to one day take over the family business: Redland Enterprises. Looking for guidance, Charlotte plans a summer vacation cross-country to visit her Aunt Valerie. Charlotte's vacation takes a surprising twist when the discovery of the pink flower petal trees on Aunt Valerie's property is found to have amazing healing powers, as Charlotte's untamed curly red hair goes suddenly smooth, and Aunt Valerie no longer needs her glasses. But the trees disappear just as quickly as they arrive, leaving Charlotte with more questions than answers. Back home Charlotte is approached by Benji, a stranger who tells a fantastical tale about the trees and their great power to heal or destroy, if put in the wrong hands. Benji leads Charlotte and a group of friends on a twisty-turny mission to recover the stolen flower petal root, taking them everywhere from Seattle, to a tiny Japanese island with no name and big secrets, as they encounter mythical creatures, natural disasters, and discover honor, courage, and purpose along the way.
