March 2017 Debut of the Month |  In a nutshell: daughter’s quest to save her mother from a dangerous fairy world |  Nell Perkins has a special gift, or curse: when she looks at people, she can see things that others can’t, often frightening things. She knows what’s happened to the women who have disappeared from her town, she’s seen them snatched up into the strange cloud that hovers overhead. But no-one will believe her. When her own mother is taken, and turned into a bird, Nell sets out with her little brothers to save not just her own, but all those mothers spirited away. With the mysterious Badger as her guide Nell journeys to the Wicked Places to confront the Dark Daughters. Conjuring up magical worlds that are both familiar and strange, Peter Begler spins an enthralling fantasy adventure with a likeable, complex and appealing central character.

Recommended for fans of the greats of children’s fantasy such as Diana Wynne Jones, Susan Cooper and Angie Sage.  ~ Andrea Reece

A note from the author:     “I have two daughters. I wanted to write a book about remaining true to who you are, seeing through the masks people present to the world, discovering your won power and embracing all the possibilities life has to offer. We are big fans of Hayao Miyazaki, Philip Pullman and Roald Dahl, artists who are able to combine unique visions of fantasy with emotional stories.”
