Summary: Jade is starting eighth grade in a new city--Atlanta. She just wants to go back to Chicago, where her friends are. Where Abuela lives. But Jade does like walking to her new school on the trail that winds through the woods behind her house. On the path, Jade meets an elderly jaguar-shaman named Itztli who exists between dreams and reality. Itztli tells Jade Mexican stories from before the Europeans came, and stories about his own life, weaving together indigenous strands from Georgia and Mexico.
