Mia is furious until she meets Neisha, an island girl, who tells her about “The tea that cures everything.” Will Mia be able to find the tea? Will it cure her mom? And will it prove to be her plane ticket back home? Join Mia on an incredible adventure, where she sails the high seas, meets wild donkeys, explores uninhabited islands, and searches for a magical tea. Donna Marie Seim is the author of the award-winning WHERE IS SIMON, SANDY? also illustrated by Susan Spellman. She lives in Newburyport, MA, and travels frequently to Turks and Caicos islands, where this story takes place.
