This magical, acclaimed debut tells the story of a 13-year-old girl who is tormented by evil fairies.
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..
As Tanya learns more about this girl, she finds herself dangerously close to vanishing into the fairy realm forever.
Fifty years ago a girl vanished in the woods, a girl Tanya\'s grandmother will not speak of.
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.
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.
Evil fairies who cast spells on her, rousing her from her sleep and propelling her out of bed.
But not the fairies we imagine.
She can see fairies.
Tanya is no ordinary girl.
It is her insistence on responding to them that has her banished to her grandmother\'s secluded countryside manor.
