A traveling medicine show promises to cure all, but two kids learn it takes more than faith in the miraculous to fix things that are broken. Thirteen-year-old Jack knows what cured his baby sister when his family thought she might never get well-Dr. Kingsbury' s "Miraculous Tonic. " Guaranteed to relieve maladies known to man or beast, Dr. Kingsbury' s potion can cure everything from pimples to hearing loss to a broken heart, and Jack himself is a witness to the miraculous results and the doctor' s kindness. When he had no money, the doctor didn' t turn him away but gave him the tonic for free along with a job-to travel with him from city to city selling his cure-all elixir. When Dr. Kingsbury and Jack arrive in Oakdale, the town at first feels like any other they' ve been to. But it' s clear Oakdale is a town with secrets, and its citizens are slow to trust strangers. Then Jack meets Cora, and a friendship neither expected starts to bloom. Together they uncover something else they didn' t expect-not only secrets about the town but also Dr. Kingsbury. As they race to discover the truth, they' ll have to decide who and what to believe before it' s too late.
