The Mossheart's Promise

From New York Times bestselling YA author Rebecca Mix comes the first book in a breathtaking middle grade fantasy duology about a young fairy who has always lived in her heroic grandmother’s shadow but now must step up and embark on a quest to save her mother from the ever-creeping mold overtaking their world. The paperback edition includes a discussion guide, perfect for classroom or book club use! The mold takes all. Twelve-year-old fairy Canary Mossheart knows this better than most. A few years ago, the mold took her papa, and even her famous, former-chosen-one Gran never found a cure. So when Ary's beloved mama falls ill, Ary decides it’s taken enough. Armed with only a bucket and a prayer, she sneaks out to find a magical, underground lake whose healing waters are straight out of Gran’s adventures. But when Ary gets there, the lake’s bone dry, and instead of healing waters, she finds a terrifying secret: Her entire world is actually trapped inside a giant terrarium—one they were meant to leave centuries ago. Worse, Gran knew and hid the truth, dooming Ary and her generation to a dying, rotting world. Now, allied with only her doomsday-obsessed frenemy, a timid pill bug, and a particularly grumpy newt, Ary has one week to unravel the clues and find a way out of the terrarium—or they’ll be trapped for good. Perfect for readers who loved Brandon Mull's Fablehaven, The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, and Endling: The Last by Katherine Applegate.Author: Mix, Rebecca,author Contributors: Mix, Rebecca,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 432 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 24 Oct 2024 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: HarperCollins Publishers Inc Author/Director/Artist: Rebecca Mix Dimension (cm): 191x133x25 mm Package Dimension (cm): 25x191x131 mm Item Weight (g): 272 Package Weight (g): 260
