All the Impossible Things

A bit of magic, a sprinkling of adventure, and a whole lot of heart collide in All the Impossible Things, Lindsay Lackey’s extraordinary middle-grade novel about a young girl navigating the foster care system in search of where she belongs.

Meet Ruby ＂Red＂ Byrd--a young, unique girl facing the turbulence of life while grappling with a powerful, mysterious connection to the wind.

As Red navigates the unpredictable storms of the foster care system, her powers resonate with her inner turmoil--intensifying with her fear, anger, and confusion. We follow her journey as she’s tossed into the loving arms of the Grooves, an unconventional couple who run a quaint petting zoo, amid a symphony of quirky creatures and unexplained gifts of their own.

This newfound idyllic sanctuary is soon threatened by a familiar tempest--her chaotic mother. Longing for familial love and caught in a maelstrom of emotions, Red’s story is a challenge to master her incredible abilities, surpass the impossible, and find the family she craves.

Lindsay Lackey has trained as an opera singer, worked in children’s and teen services at a public library, and worked for a major publishing house in publicity and marketing. Born and raised in Colorado, she now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and their spoiled dog. All the Impossible Things is her debut novel.
