A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“Jones hits all the bases with her fluid storytelling, trademark sly humor, and exquisitely drawn characters...With this enthralling book, Jones proves that she is still at the top of her game.” (Booklist (starred review))

“An intelligent, refreshing hoot.” (The Horn Book)

“She’s the best children’s writer of the last 40 years. I read her latest book, Enchanted Glass, and marveled once again at how good she is. It’s a tale of magic, double-dealing, subversion, and plot, not to mention giant vegetables and dangerous fairies.” (Neil Gaiman, author of Coraline)

“Irresistible to adventure, humor, and fantasy buffs.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Something is rotten in the village of Melstone

Aidan Cain has had the worst week of his life. Creepy, sinister beings want him dead. What's a boy to do? With danger nipping at his heels, Aidan flees to Melstone, a village teeming with magic of its own. There he is taken in by Andrew Hope, the new master of Melstone House, who has some supernatural troubles too. Someone is stealing power from the area—mingling magics—and chaos is swiftly rising. Are Aidan's and Andrew's magical dilemmas connected somehow? And will they be able to unite their powers and unlock the secrets of Melstone before the countryside comes apart at the seams?
