Frygea Forest. An ancient and mysterious place where trolls lurk in
the mossy spaces between tree trunks and changelings scamper about,
causing mischief. A place that Kyra and her sisters Margot and
Janna return to every year to spend the summer at their grandma's
farm: toasting marshmallows, catching frogs and befriending tiny,
grumpy root goblins. But this summer is different, and as teenage
Margot drifts apart from her sisters, slamming doors and keeping
secrets, Kyra starts to worry. When Margot is enticed into the
woods by the mysterious figures in the mist, Kyra resolves to do
everything in her power to save her sister from danger, even if
that means facing the spooky forces within Frygea Forest with just
her kid sister for help. Join Kyra and her sisters in this
beautiful coming-of-age graphic novel about embracing the changes
that come from growing up, but never letting go of the imagination
that keeps you young. If you're careful, and ever so quiet, you
might spot a root goblin marching along the ground, or a glittering
alf darting amongst the leaves.
