Riassunto

Sent to a boisterous family gathering in Ireland by her overly strict grandmother, orphaned Hayley feels out of place until her unruly cousins include her in a special game involving travel through the mythosphere, the place where all the world's stories can be found, and where some secrets of her past are revealed.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Wynne Jones, the author of the Chrestomanci series and Howl's Moving Castle, is an expert at mixing fast-paced action with thought-provoking situations."—The New York Times

“The strength of this story is the finesse with which it draws readers into a realistic story that gradually becomes more and more fantastic. Though teachers may find this short novel of interest for its references to Greek and Roman mythology, its main audience will be Jones’ enthusiastic fans."—Booklist

"A sparkling treat."—Publishers Weekly

"As always, Jones's writing is crisp, clear, clever, and laced with plenty of humor."—VOYA

"Jones's prose sparkles."—Kirkus Reviews
