Hartley ma trzynaście lat i nieznośną świadomość, że nikt nie zwraca na niego najmniejszej uwagi. Ani starsza siostra, ani młodszy brat, o rodzicach już nie wspominając. Wszystkich zajmuje ucieczka z domu szesnastoletniego Jacksona, najstarszego syna. A co może robić pozostawiony sam sobie nastolatek w takiej dziurze jak miasteczko Whirton? Chyba tylko poszukać szczęścia i jakiejś książki w miejscowej bibliotece, która jak się okazuje może skrywać nieoczywiste skarby. Skąd między książkami wzięła się ręcznie zrobiona kartka? Kto kryje się pod inicjałami „g.o.” i skąd czerpie natchnienie? Stworzył więcej takich pocztówek? I czy rzeczywiście tajemniczy autor jest pokrewną duszą Hartleya, jak wydaje się chłopcu? Odrobinę tajemnicza, ciepła i mądra opowieść obyczajowa dla nastolatków, ilustrowana zabawnymi, pomysłowymi kolażami przywodzi na myśl choćby nieśmiertelne młodzieżówki pióra Małgorzaty Musierowicz.
