The first instalment in the fairy-filled Thirteen Treasures trilogy, full of fairies, magic and pure adventure from Waterstones Children’s Book Prize winner Michelle Harrison.

While visiting her grandmother’s manor house, an old photograph leads Tanya to an unsolved mystery. Fifty years ago, a girl vanished in the woods nearby – a girl Tanya’s grandmother will not speak of. Fabian, the caretaker’s son, is tormented by the girl’s disappearance. His grandfather was the last person to see her alive and has lived under suspicion ever since. Together, Tanya and Fabian decide to find the truth. But Tanya has her own secret: the ability to see fairies. And, after disturbing an intruder in the night, it emerges that someone else shares her gift. . . The manor’s sinister history is about to repeat itself. Can Tanya and Fabian solve the mystery before it’s too late? 

​The perfect series for fans of Katherine Rundell and Sophie Anderson!

It was really good and exciting. My favourite character was Red because she was fierce and kind and would do anything to save her brother. I'd recommend it to people who like thrillers and mysteries.

I think others should read this because it makes you picture the story in your head. Also it is a mixture of fantasy, mystery, and a tiny bit of horror.In this story all the good creatures are actually bad. I think others will mainly joy this because it makes you feel like your part of the story.
