My Opinion;
This is a superb novel which will have you bewitched from the very beginning to the very end... It is recommended for older children (10+) and adults, and tells the story of Tanya, a young girl who goes to stay at her grandma's manor house and soon begins to unravel a fifty year old mystery...coupled with this she has to contend with the second sight, her ability to see fairies, who are not always as nice as they seem...The characters are both lovable and memorable in this highly imaginative, well written novel. The cliffhanger leaves you breathless in anticipation of the next book... Fantastic.
