Red is back, but she's trapped in the fairy realm. Having swapped places with Tanya, she is bound there, but is still desperate to get both her and her brother back into the human world. She must seek an audience with the fairy court, but the realm is full of deception and cruelty – it will be a challenge just to get there. And guess what happens when she gets there? She is set another challenge, twisted with the cruelty of the Unseelie (Boo! Hiss!) court. Whilst the journey goes on, she reflects on her past: the car crash that killed her parents and her time at the children's home. Meanwhile, Tanya has returned to Elvesden Manor for half term and let's just say that her ability to see fairies comes back into use when the new housekeeper and her pesky parrot land her and Fabian and the whole Manor crew into trouble with the little people.
Thanks for a great read Simon and Schuster!
If you haven't already, check out the [[The Thirteen Treasures by Michelle Harrison|first book]] in the series. If you're looking for more fairies, you should look at Steve Augarde's [[Winter Wood (The Various) by Steve Augarde|The Various]] trilogy. For a similar magical feel, but no little people, how about [[Season of Secrets by Sally Nicholls]]? And for boys (and girls!) who like their fairies teamed with guns and farting dwarves, [[Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer|Artemis Fowl]] is a must-read. We've also enjoyed [[A Pinch of Magic by Michelle Harrison]].
