'''Shortlisted for the 2015 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal'''
Sally Gardner has followed her wonderful and haunting [[Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner|Maggot Moon]] with another story about a world at war, but although death and violence abound once again, the atmosphere here is very different. This time we are not in some alternate nineteen fifties Britain where the bad guys have won, but instead in the eerie, mist-filled world of the fairy tale. In this place wonders and magic lead the hero to his destiny, and love, power and greed are the catalysts for both joy and despair.
