About this ebook

A girl with the gift of seeing fairies discovers a decades-old mystery at a secluded mansion in this fantasy trilogy debut.

"An intriguing, exciting blend of fantasy and mystery. . . . This truly absorbing page-turner is fresh and clever, and readers will be on the edge of their seats wondering if and how Tanya will outwit her nemeses." — School Library Journal (starred review)

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 wit's end with her daughter's inexplicable behavior, Tanya's 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 Hangman's 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 Tanya's grandmother will not speak of. As Tanya learns more about this girl, she finds herself dangerously close to vanishing into the fairy realm forever . . .

"First-time novelist Harrison writes with great assuredness, creating a seductive setting and memorable, fully developed characters." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Harrison is an excellent storyteller. . . . Fantasy readers who are looking for the next fat book that's both a quick and compelling read will love this one." — Booklist

I read it last year and never got to review this wonderful novel! As a 6th grader I love fantisfull books, the mystery the adventure and the fairies! I would usually go for larger novels like Eragon and its acappaining books , one of my friends said it was a great read I decided to take a break from Inharatence it was a great choice! (Sorry about the spelling probems )
