In summer, no one wants to be in Oxford. In fact every single person in the world does anything they can to get away from the city. No one knows why everyone hates it so much in summer. They just do. Jaina Johnson is strange. Probably because of her white hair, her way of arguing with everything the teachers at school say and her strong love for Oxford. Especially in summer. One day, Felix joins her class. He says it's because he and his family are staying in Oxford for the summer. Jaina and Felix immediately become very close and Jaina's foster parents finally allow her to spend the summer in Oxford alone with Felix and his parents. As the two teenagers explore the abandoned city, they soon discover the reason behind the desertion of Oxford in the summer. And more. What are all these animals doing here? Why is Jaina so important? Does magic exist? Is it the end if the world?
