Summer and Autumn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780228818779)

Georgia and Jacob Brambly and their parents are out for a drive in the country when they stop for a picnic. Tired of the city life, Mr. and Mrs. Brambly hope to find a farm to buy so that they can move the family into a fresh, healthy rural setting. While skipping pebbles in the stream, Jacob tosses in a special one that finds its way back to him. Georgia loves its pretty colors, so she pops it into her pocket. Back in the car, the family and their two pets, Hunter the dog and Marmalade the cat, are about to embark on an exciting adventure. As Georgia rubs the special pebble between her fingers, the family members see a blinding flash and then suddenly find themselves on the back of a horse-drawn wagon. Not only have the main characters gone back in time, but they have entered a magical world full of elves, pixies, sprites and talking animals. As they settle into rustic farm life, they meet a variety of neighbors and encounter an array of fascinating creatures.
