Are you brave?
When the mysterious Amelia Pigeon turns up at Kirby's bedroom window in
the dead of night, this is the question she asks him -- right before
they tumble into a world of ancient malevolent spirits who have torn
their way into Kirby's quiet seaside village.
Kirby isn't feeling brave at all. His mother is in a coma following a
freak (or was it?) accident, and he's hardly talking to his dad. He's
convinced a spider is spying on him, and now a weird girl in a yellow
raincoat -- who claims to be a powerful, evil-banishing Shadowsmith --
is dragging him into unknown danger. How brave is he really?
Ross MacKenzie, author of award-winning The Nowhere Emporium, weaves a
world of magic and adventure which twists and turns magnificently, and
keeps thrilled young readers guessing right to the end.
