Book Description
Bobbin was never the kind of faerie to cause trouble. But when her best friend is kidnapped by a mysterious thief and the faerie queen refuses to help, Bobbin has no choice but to set out on her own.
With only a gabby guide and her stubborn hope, Bobbin journeys deep into tangled woods and peculiar lands, determined to find her friend. But the thief is collecting magical things—and faeries like Heddy are rare and powerful prizes.
To succeed, Bobbin must brave strange magic, unravel forgotten secrets, and discover a strength she never knew she had.
A lyrical retelling of Rumpelstiltskin, perfect for readers who love gentle magic, fierce friendship, and endearing heroines.
Great for fans of The Girl Who Drank the Moon and Tuesdays at the Castle.
