Deep in the redwoods, in a magical town, anything can happen, and any
creature--or monster--could exist. But when a team of myth-busters comes
to Aldermere, they threaten its very existence--and eleven-year-old Fin
will do anything to protect her home. For fans of Nevermoor and Amari
and the Night Brothers, Emily Lloyd-Jones's sequel to the acclaimed
Unseen Magic is a story of trusting yourself and finding the friends
who believe in you, no matter what.
Aldermere is a town with its own set of rules: there's a tea shop that
vanishes if you try to force your way in, crows that must be fed or
they'll go through your trash, and a bridge that has a toll that no one
knows the cost of. Some say that there may even be bigfoots wandering
through the woods.
It's been six months since Fin saved Aldermere from someone intent on
exploiting its magic. With spring break just around the corner, Fin's
plans are to relax, try to train her new raven friend, and read some of
the mystery books she loves. But her plans are derailed when Fin and her
friends find a baby bigfoot who's been separated from her pack.
Then a film crew shows up, intending to add Aldermere to their web show
debunking strange and magical legends. Fin can't let the film crew put
the bigfoot--and Aldermere--at risk. Now, Fin, Eddie, and Cedar must
keep the bigfoot hidden and find a way to track down her family. But
Cedar's been hiding a secret of her own; one that may complicate
everything.
As monsters, friends, and enemies collide, Fin, Eddie, and Cedar have to
trust one another with secrets both good and bad if they're going to
save the town they all love.
Emily Lloyd-Jones crafts a novel infused with magic that is sometimes
wonderful and charming--and sometimes dangerous. The sequel to Indie
Next Pick Unseen Magic, Unspoken Magic is perfect for fans of
Christina Soontornvat's A Wish in the Dark and Claribel A. Ortega's
Ghost Squad.
