FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Tanya is no ordinary girl. She can see fairies. But not the fairies we imagine. Evil fairies who cast spells on her, rousing her from her sleep and propelling her out of bed. At wits end with her daughters inexplicable behavior, Tanyas mother sends her away to live with her grandmother at Elvesden Manor, a secluded countryside mansion on the outskirts of a peculiar Essex town. There is plenty to explore, as long as Tanya stays away from Hangmans Wood- a vast stretch of forest, full of catacombs and notorious for people losing their lives. Fifty years ago a girl vanished in the woods, a girl Tanyas grandmother will not speak of. As Tanya learns more about this girl, she finds herself dangerously close to vanishing into the fairy realm forever. Debut author Michelle Harrison weaves an intricate mystery into a beautiful and haunting fantasy that captures a rich world of fairy lore where only the color red can offer protection. Author Biography Michelle Harrison is the author of the 13 Treasures trilogy (13 Treasures; 13 Curses; 13 Secrets) which was inspired by her extensive research on fairy lore and her love of classic childrens books. She lives with her family in Essex, England.
