Before twelve-year-old Megan Blayne moves to Hollow Mountain, she
believes that nothing can ever come between herself and her twin
sister, Cate. Even though they have different personalities, they
are forever bonded by blood and wear matching green amber rings.
But just as myths about peculiar happenings around the town begin
to overwhelm their daily conversations, Cate?and her ring?suddenly
disappear. After Megan embarks on a desperate search to find her
twin, she is met by a mysterious serpent who opens his mouth and
drops Cate's ring at her feet. But as quickly as the snake appears,
it disappears, along with the ring. Terrified and more worried
about Cate than ever, Megan sets out on a daring adventure in a
fantasy world more dangerous than she ever imagined. As she begins
unraveling a complex puzzle that she hopes will lead her to Cate,
Megan encounters a strange boy, an evil lord, and serpent people
who will do anything to get the one thing they want most. In this
fantasy novel, a girl on a quest to find her missing sister must
rely on help from an unlikely new friend as she attempts to save
two worlds from a terrible fate.
Originally written by French author Reuben Saillens and later
retold by Leo Tolstoy, this endearing and timeless story has now
acquired the status of a folk-tale and is great to read out loud
with children. The heartening story of a lonely shoemaker named
Papa Panov whose generosity demonstrates the virtues of kindness
and compassion. Mig Holder's much loved text is complemented by
charming illustrations by Julie Downing which capture the changing
mood of the story.
