Emma’s family has been in upheaval since her older sister went missing; her father sacrificed his career as a chef to pursue any possible leads into Helena’s disappearance.
The family has moved to a trailer park inhabited by various enchanted creatures, and shortly after their arrival, Emma meets a cat named Jack. He has a plan for how Emma can find and rescue her sister, but in doing so, Emma embarks upon becoming a magical creature herself.
This story appealed to me for its depiction of creatures of mythology living alongside humans in a modern-day setting that includes web browsing and the Internet. The “CragWiki” facts of the day add an interesting framework at the start of each chapter as well as added dimensions to the types of mythological characters.
Disclosure of material connection: My taxes support local libraries’ acquisition of this and other resources. I consider the access I enjoy to be a “priceless” return on my investment.
