Although half-American, this shy young boy has never lived outside of Indonesia and finds it hard to adjust to life in the mountains. His only friend is Wiley Pendergrass, a mysterious old hermit who sees magic in discarded wood. For Timor, Wiley makes a ladder-back chair out of sassafras—a hard yellow wood with powers that will change Timor’s life forever.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAccused by a local gem collector of stealing a precious box, Wiley pushes his ancient pickup as hard as he can to escape the police. Screaming around a hairpin mountain turn, he loses control and sails off the side of a cliff. Soon after, the chair begins speaking to Timor in Wiley’s voice. His friend may be gone, but with the help of a little Appalachian magic, Timor has a chance to clear Wiley’s name.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Open Road Media Teen \u0026 Tween","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131045953776,"sku":"9781497652552","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781497652552_p0.jpg?v=1769895982","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781497652552","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
