Alice and her mother are always on the move. Bad luck seems to find them frequently. When news reaches them that Alice's grandmother and author of <I>Tales from the Hinterland</I> has died, things change quickly. Alice notices strange people around her and then suddenly her mother is kidnapped. Alice finds help from a classmate and a fan of her grandmother's tales, Ellery Finch. Together they try to find safety and Alice's mother. This was a fun yet dark fantasy. Alice and Ellery are terrific characters and the plot is full of surprises. I recommend this book to those who enjoy fairy tales and fantasy.
