About this item
Sometimes it's not the kid you expect who falls through to magicland, sometimes it's . . . Elliott. He's grumpy, nerdy, and appalled by both the dearth of technology and the levels of fit-ness involved in swinging swords around. He's a little enchanted by the elves and mermaids. De-spite his aversion to war, work, and most people (human or otherwise) he finds that two unlikely ideas, friendship and world peace, may actually be possible.Praise for Sarah Rees Bren-nan's books:"Breathtaking - a compulsive, rocketing read." - Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author"I suspect that word of this magical thriller will pass through the populace with the energy of wind, of fire." - Gregory Maguire, au-thor of Wicked and Egg and Spoon"From the pitch-perfect opening paragaph, to the heartbreaking final pages ... delicious." - Kirkus (starred review) "A sparkling fantasy that will make you laugh and break your heart." - Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling au-thor"A darkly funny, deliciously thrilling Gothic." - Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author"A laugh-out-loud delight." - Publishers Weekly"Brennan takes the genres of young adult, fantasy, and romance, and through her own writerly, alchemical process converts them into something new and strange and lovely." - Kelly Link, author of Pretty Mon-stersSarah Rees Brennan was born and raised in Ireland and now travels the world writing, teaching and confusing locals.

About the Author
Sarah Rees Brennan was born and raised in Ireland by the sea, where her teachers valiantly tried to make her fluent in Irish (she wants you to know it's not called Gaelic) but she chose to read books under her desk in class instead. The books most often found under her desk were Jane Austen, Margaret Mahy, Anthony Trollope, Robin McKinley and Diana Wynne Jones, and she still loves them all today.
After college she lived briefly in New York and somehow survived in spite of her habit of hitching lifts in fire engines. She began working on The Demon's Lexicon while doing a Creative Writing MA and library work in Surrey, England. Since then she has returned to Ireland to write and use as a home base for future adventures. Her Irish is still woeful, but she feels the books under the desk were worth it.
The Demon's Lexicon trilogy is her first published work.
