Children of the Tithe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917507202)

"Second Star to the right and straight on 'till morning'", she had muttered, and the figure had laughed as its slender fingers enclosed her small hand and pulled her gently to her feet. "Yes," it agreed. "Come, little Wendy-Bird"...

Heidi was always told that she had an old soul for her age, so when she awakes and finds herself and other children thrown into a world of enchantment and fear, she knows she needs to get home, no matter the consequences.

Leading a group of young survivors through an unknown world of savage beauty, Heidi has to keep her head and figure out which of the strange creatures they encounter are friendly ... and which are dangerous.

Some, she is going to learn, can be both.
