TOM XAVIER studied archaeology in Italy and Greece
and law in England. He helped run ski mountaineering trips in New Hampshire and
bicycling trips in Canada. As a lawyer, he worked on a giant fraud case in
England and for the past two decades, he has produced concerts with young
musicians from countries around the world. Tom draws on these experiences to
write stories filled with magic and adventure. He loves writing books of
discovery about girls and boys who travel to amazing places where they learn much
about life and even more about themselves.
Would you risk everything just to be cool?
Young
Duggan McDuggan really has no choice. Her habit of talking to trees has made
her the most teased kid in her village. Duggan would love to stop the teasing
but there’s no way she’s going to give up her tree friends. And so she’s worked
out a daring plan to journey with her two best friends to Eshmagick, ancient
realm of the Faeries. This will certainly stop the teasing. No one in five
hundred years has made it there and back again.
For
their dangerous journey, Duggan and her friends will need a Faerie guide.
Unfortunately, legend says harming a Faerie will bring down a terrible curse
and it’s hard to catch a Faerie without hurting it. But when you’re as desperate
as Duggan, no curse is too scary to stop you.
