The Chronicles of Narnia meets The Secret Garden in this cosy young adult fantasy novel, about a witch ... who doesn't believe in magic.
Thirteen-year-old Annabel Wood wishes her sister, Lottie, would stop making up stories about seeing faeries-especially now the First World War has forced them from their home in London to live at mysterious Morven Manor with an uncle they've never met before.
When Lottie insists she hears singing at the strange standing stones on the outskirts of the village, it becomes clear to Annabel the country air has done nothing to stop her sister's overactive imagination.
But then Lottie disappears, and Annabel is thrown into a world of magic and witchcraft.
With the help of the local baker's boy, his eccentric granny, and a host of magical creatures, Annabel discovers a sinister mystery that only she can unravel-and Lottie's disappearance is just the beginning.
