Who are you when the world forgets your name?

Sally Hemingway is fading—and no one seems to notice. Not her teachers. Not her classmates. Not even the mirror, which now lags behind like it’s trying to remember who she is. Words slip from her tongue. Photos erase her face. And just when she thinks she might disappear entirely, a map arrives—one that draws itself.

It leads to Gribbleton: a crooked, crumbling city built from forgotten memories, unwanted dreams, and abandoned versions of people who once were. It’s ruled by the Museum of Could-Have-Beens, where lives are curated, rewritten, and perfected... and where flawed girls like Sally are marked for deletion.

But Sally has never done what she was told.

Armed with nothing but a pencil, a glowing thread, and the half-remembered love of her friends—Louis, Roald, Karl, Victoria, and Jade—Sally plunges into a world of leaking stories and broken reflections to stitch herself back into existence.

Because someone else is trying to finish her story.

Someone smoother. Nicer. More acceptable.

Someone not her.

To survive, Sally must fight not just to be remembered, but to be real—in all her messy, magical, glorious imperfection.

Unpolished. Unapproved. Unforgettable.
This isn’t a rewrite.
This is her story now.
