Margaret is a lonely girl, emotionally neglected by her famous alchemist mother. Wes is a boy from the wrong side of the tracks desperate to learn alchemy to save his family. Their worlds collide when Wes seeks out Maggie's elusive mother as a teacher and they form an uneasy alliance to secure what they both want. This was an emotional roller-coaster. The characters felt fully fleshed out, emotionally and as people. This was just so well written and heartbreaking yet hopeful.
