Unhappy Ella, 11 years old, is moving from California to New Mexico for the summer to live with a grandmother she's never met (or maybe she met her once, as a baby, who remembers?). Ella's mom has cancer, and needs a very serious blood treatment in Seattle, so Ella will be on her own--since her dad is pretty much never around.
While in her eccentric grandmother's isolated house, Ella learns a lot about a special, old book that her grandfather loved--he was an astronomer who died during a fishing accident when Ella's father was a young boy. When the book, Sonmium, written in 1608 by Johannes Kepler (!) goes missing, Ella is determined to unravel the mystery along with a new friend, Rosie.
