Glint by Ann Coburn

Day 3 of the Save Us book campaign features Glint by Ann Coburn.  Unlike the first two books featured here, this book isn't saddled with a completely tragic cover. 

Now, I thought it was just the library copy of the book that made the girl's face look weird, but that is definitely the design.  I don't know if it is part of the story or just a design I don't understand but part of her face looks haunted for sure. 

Here is the summary from the inside jacket flap:

 Ellie and her little brother Danny spend their lonely days making up stories about a young girl in a world of dragons and shapeshifters (Oh!  Maybe her face is weird because she's a shapeshifter!) a girl as brave and cunning as they would like to be.

Five years later, Danny disappears.  The police have no clues.  They fear he is dead, but Ellie knows better.  She also knows that she is the only one who can find him. 
At the same time, in the world Danny and Ellie imagined, a young girl named Argent sets off on a quest of her own to reclaim a stolen dragon hatchling. 

As each girl makes her way closer to her goal, the boundaries between the worlds of fantasy and reality begin to blur (Oh!  Maybe her face is weird because the boundaries between fantasy and reality are blurring!) until it's unclear where one world ends and the other begins. 

If you've even played Make Believe and wondered what would happen if you're imaginary worlds and characters were real, this is a story for you.  There are twists and turns in the plot and great characters you will never forget.
