Mismatch seeks out the shy, young crown princess next in line to the family curse and warns her about her fate in the hopes of saving her from the living death. Out of the blue, five-year-old Alessandra breaks the spell. Like the Greek monarchs before him, he fell victim to the family curse: he was turned to stone and forced to keep watch over the temple of a Greek god or goddess. Once upon a time, thousands of years ago, he was a man who led a privileged life.
Mismatch hasn’t always been a statue standing guard over the Temple of Artemis. She’s special, and the men in the black van are coming for her. On her sixth birthday, Alessandra begins to learn the truth. Normal kids don’t know that gargoyles feel pain, either, or invite one to live in their closet. But normal kids don’t bring their toys to life for afternoon tea or see the colorful threads of magic and energy clinging to everything around them. Five-year-old Alessandra is obsessed with Disney movies, tea parties and just wants a real birthday party for once in her life.
