The Grimmelings

Rachael King

£7.99

A spell-binding fantasy adventure of loyalty, courage and being careful what you wish for…

Ella knows that words are powerful. So she should have known better than to utter a wish and a curse on the same day – the day that Josh Underhill went missing… Who is Gus, the boy with the impish grin, who seems to appear in answer to her wish? And what does the black horse want? Ella soon discovers that her grandmother’s warnings of creatures that dwell in the lake are more than just stories, and she and her pony Magpie are drawn into a dangerous life-saving mission.

Set in New Zealand and imbued with Scottish folklore, this is a future classic not to be missed, for fans of Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Katherine Rundell and Neil Gaiman.
