The Abode Patricia Mather Parker

Everything young Molly has been told about herself is about to change. Time travel, telepathy, magic, and dragons come into play in this fantasy adventure.
Locked away in the Abode with other children, Molly yearns to see the wide world beyond the deadly mists that keep the children captive. But every day remains the same as the one before: no talking, no touching, no singing...just hard work, hunger, and cruelty.
Until Molly's friend Fel, the only child ever to run into the mists, returns to rescue Molly. With the help of a couple of outsiders, including a boy named Sam, his pirate uncle, and a sarcastic scarlet macaw, Molly and Fel risk their lives at every turn as they struggle to defeat their captors and, to their surprise, discover who they really are.
The Abode is a coming-of-age story of courage and friendship, and of the power this combination can unleash. It's an adventure waiting for those who have faith in magic, in dragons, and in the unlimited potential of the spirit.
