Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Needle Lake by Justine Champine. Thirteen-year-old Ida lives quietly in the remote town of Mineral, Washington, her life shaped by a congenital heart condition that keeps her on the sidelines. While her classmates see her as odd, Ida finds comfort in solitude, studying her globe, memorizing capitals, and dreaming of faraway places she’ll likely never visit.
Then Elna arrives. Her older cousin, bold and magnetic, is everything Ida isn’t, and everything she longs to be. Elna comes from San Francisco, a city Ida knows only as a name on her globe, and she treats Ida like an equal, not a fragile child. She embraces Ida’s quirks, her intensity, her hunger for something more.
As the weeks unfold, Ida’s world begins to shift. What starts as admiration deepens into something more complicated, more electric. And in Elna’s presence, Ida begins to imagine a life beyond the limits she’s always known.

Then she discovers Ryke was inspired by a real person, a friend of the author, and suddenly, fantasy feels within reach.
