Knife

LoveReading4Kids Says

This is no ordinary fairytale; in fact if you're expecting fairy dust don't read this book as the last thing Knife is likely to wield is a magic wand.  She's a feisty heroine but with a dark side.  It's classic storytelling but with a truly original premise that will grip you to the page.

There are humans at the bottom of the garden, and a glimpse inside their forbidden House convinces Knife that they have knowledge that could help her dying people. But if the human world has so much to offer, why is the fairy Queen determined to keep her people away from it? Is there a connection between the House and the fairies' loss of magic? And why is Knife so drawn to the young Paul McCormick - that strangest of creatures, a human male?

So, if you looking for something different that's full of action-packed adventure or you've enjoyed reading C S Lewis, J R R Tolkien you'll love this brilliant debut.

Here's a taster:

'Knife woke in a cloud of sweat, the torn edge of her wing sizzling with pain.  How long had she lain unconscious? Her worst fears had come to pass: she was trapped, flightless, a prisoner.  The humans had put her in a box, and now they had come to torment her.'
