Description
Presenting the three titles in the Unwritten fantasy series. This series sends friends Rosemary and Peter on magical and time-travelling adventures. In The Unwritten Girl, they find themselves on a life-or-death quest to rescue Rosemary’s brother, who has lost himself in a book. With the help of Peter and her guide, faerie shape-shifter Puck, Rosemary must face the storybook perils of the Land of Fiction and learn to open her heart, before it is too late. In Fathom Five, a mysterious woman named Fiona appears and tells Peter he’s a changeling, a fairy child left to live in the human world, and that it’s time to come home. Can Rosemary convince him that Fiona is lying? Or is it possible that Fiona is telling the truth? And finally, in The Young City Peter and Rosemary fall into an underground river and are swept back in time to Toronto in 1884. It’s a struggle to survive and adapt to the alien culture of the late nineteenth century.
Includes:
- The Unwritten Girl
- Fathom Five
- The Young City
