HELIUM BEACH PRESENTS
By Gene Turnbow
Juniper Fairchild
and the Alterwhere
A Novel
Juniper Fairchild and her only friend Megan Eastman are drawn into the Alterwhere, a half-broken fantasy world meant for girls half their age. But the Alterwhere is unraveling, and thinks Juniper and Megan are the same Lost Princess.
With a pair of misfit Fae footmen, a magical amulet that points the way but won’t open, and an enchanted model T, Juniper must cross a forbidding landscape to rescue Megan before the world collapses around them.
Witty, heartfelt and quietly epic, Juniper Fairchild and the Alterwhere is for anyone who’s ever wondered if it’s too late to matter.

It is the province of every author to be able to invite the reader to visit some wondrous new world, and to tell them, “I see you. This is a place you can belong for a little while. Welcome home.”
