The much-loved classic, finally in ebook. Winner of both the Guardian Award and the Carnegie Medal, this is an all-time classic, combining mystery, adventure, history and a complex set of human relationships.

Sweet beginning to a nice series. There is great folklore woven into these books.

✦ kinda reminds me of stranger things but put big, scary welsh legend in the mix
✦ a mystery ride 🦉🌸
