Eleven-year-old Maggie is a middler—neither the eldest nor the youngest, just the one in between, overlooked and unimportant. In Fennis Wick, that means no medals, no songs, no glory. Her brother Jed is a celebrated eldest, and little Trig is everyone’s darling. Maggie? She follows the rules. Stays inside the Boundary. Obeys. But when she meets Una, a defiant wanderer girl from the forbidden outside, Maggie starts to question everything she’s been taught. Helping Una could be dangerous—but it might also be the first truly important thing Maggie’s ever done.
