Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An eerie, spine-tingling fantasy about a young girl who discovers two otherworldly children--and an ancient bargain that threatens to destroy them all.
It is the autumn of 1160, and twelve-year-old Agnes is helping with the harvest when she hears a frightened voice calling from the nearby woods. When she goes to investigate, Agnes can't believe what she sees. There, at the bottom of the deep wolf traps, are two children. They are shouting in a language no one understands--and their skin is bright green.
Agnes soon discovers that these are no ordinary children; in fact, they aren't even human. They are of the Fair Folk, and they are here to take Agnes home to their world. Trusting that the Fair Folk cannot lie, Agnes agrees to venture underground. But she soon learns just how dangerous their world is--and what it will take to break the ancient bargain meant to keep her there.
Based on a classic British legend, this deliciously creepy novel from acclaimed author J. Anderson Coats is perfect for fans of Doll Bones and Coraline .
Ages 10 up.
Twelve-year-old Agnes trusts a boy and girl with green skin who claim they are fair folk, and that she is a fairy princess, but in their underground world she finds great danger.
