Young readers will laugh along as a group of modern-day kids unravel the mystery of why fairy tale characters have invaded their school days and taken over their seaside town.
First, Arty finds a sweaty, bearded ax-swinging warrior Dwarf scaring his dogs. Soon enough, his best-friends Emma, Cry, and other middle-school classmates also find fairy tale creatures-Elves, Spriggans, Pixies, and a hoped-for Dragon.
Fans of tabletop role-playing games will love getting lost in Emma and Arty's adventure-guided by their love of maps, old books, and public libraries. As they learn more about the cause of all the fairy creature chaos, things turn dark and dangerous. They'll need help from their friends and a few new allies to confront the Gwyllion, that legendary Old Woman of the Mountains, whose sinister plan turns the neighborhood into a fantasy battleground.
