Whimsy is back in the hospital for treatment of clinical depression. When she meets a boy named Faerry, she recognizes they both have magic in the marrow of their bones. And when Faerry and his family move to the same street, the two start to realize that their lifelines may have twined and untwined many times before. They are both terrified of the forest at the end of Marsh Creek Lane. The Forest whispers to Whimsy. The Forest might hold the answers to the part of Faerry he feels is missing. They discover the Forest holds monsters, fairy tales, and pain that they have both been running from for 11 years.

As the parent of a child who suffers from anxiety, depression, and PTSD, I would like to say thank you to Ms. McBride for giving my daughter a voice. Of course Ursula holds hers captive; she is 12 years old and was (is) so articulate, but how can anyone explain the pain and sadness associated with clinical depression, especially a child? This book is perfection; it resonates with me on so many levels. For those who see mental illness as a distant planet - uncharted territory that exists but is difficult to understand - Ms. McBride's writing provides a beautiful way to appreciate what life is like for its inhabitants. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/606780847-we-are-all-so-good-at-smiling](https://www.desertcart.no/products/606780847-we-are-all-so-good-at-smiling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
