Into the Faerie Hill (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781782693864)

A moving, atmospheric adventure about a boy investigating an old family mystery and discovering the fantastical creatures of Faerie Hill.

Somehow, whenever he was in the countryside surrounded by nature, Alfred's imagination went into overdrive. He often had the feeling something was watching him. A few times, he'd imagined seeing glimpses of weird creatures. Once, when he'd been swimming in the sea, an ugly catfish had warned him of an undertow near the shore. Or so he'd imagined.
As soon as Alfred arrives at his granny's cottage, he feels like he's being watched. There are steep cliffs and dark forests all around, teeming with unfamiliar life -- even odd little faerie creatures only Alfred can see. When free-spirited Saga bursts into his life, he begins to appreciate the beauty of these places that have always scared him.
But this special world is under threat: Alfred's dad is working on a project to dig a giant tunnel through the landscape for a motorway. As he joins Saga in the community protests against the plan, Alfred draws ever closer to the strange world of the faerie creatures, following a thread that seems to be leading him deep into secrets from his family's past.
Into the Fairie Hill is a beautiful and moving tale of friendship, courage and learning to love the things that make us different.
