In the Glitter-Dust, Alice Dwyer-Joyce tells the story of a girl who yearns to leave the small town she's grown up in. When her mother dies, Alice is forced to return to her home to take care of her ailing father. But Alice doesn't want to be there--she wants to be with her friends in the city.

Alice's dreams of leaving her home are constantly interrupted by the mysterious dust that floats in the air. The dust is said to be the result of a powerful curse that's been placed on the town. No one knows what to do about the curse, but Alice is determined to find out.

As Alice explores the town and the curse, she starts to realize that she's not the only one who's been searching for answers. She meets a group of friends who help her to understand the town and the curse, and together, they try to find a way to break the spell.
