About this item
Tanya Fairchild may look like an ordinary twelve-year-old, but her life is anything but ordinary. After all, Tanya can see fairies. And real fairies are nothing like the ones in books....When Tanya and her mother arrive in the bustling seaside town of Spinney Wicket, they have no idea what's in store for their summer vacation. Tanya soon meets Ratty, a young boy who shares her ability to see fairies. When Ratty goes missing, Tanya discovers her new friend has another extraordinary ability--an ability that has the potential to destroy them both.
About the Author
My first children's novel, THE 13 TREASURES, won the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize and was followed by two sequels: THE 13 CURSES and THE 13 SECRETS, and a prequel, ONE WISH. I've also written UNREST, a ghost story for young adult readers, THE OTHER ALICE, which won the Calderdale Book of the Year Award and the MIDNIGHT MAGIC series for younger readers. My latest novel is A STORM OF SISTERS, the fourth in the best-selling PINCH OF MAGIC ADVENTURES. Before becoming a full-time writer I worked in publishing as an editor, and also as a bookseller. Prior to that, I worked in bars, a bakery, and a second-hand record shop to make ends meet while trying to get my first book deal. I live in Essex with my son, Jack, partner Neil and cats Marmite and Widdershins. The best place to get in touch with me is via my website or Facebook page:
