http://www.engagingreadersdigitally.com/home/the-girl-who-fell-beneath-fairyland-and-led-the-revels-there
The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There. Published by Feiwel and Friends. Student review by Caroline T. From this point on, I will just refer this book as The Girl. The shadows of the fairy-people, from which they draw their magic, are being stolen. This journey will be even harder than her first one because, as everyone knows, children are quite heartless, but the same is not quite true when they are teenagers. Below is a book trailer for each of the books. Enjoy! My "To Read" List.
