A little girl who can only sleep during the day goes from being something of an isolated town oddity to being the heiress of an ancient legacy of magic and music. Exquisitely illustrated, this gentle, satisfying young fantasy is filled with unforgettable, quirky characters and imagery. A perfect read-aloud, it shows how one can find friends in the unlikeliest of places-windowsills, rabbit burrows, the library. Step into the mysterious woods of Whistle Root and feel the magic. AGES: 9-12 AUTHOR: Christopher Pennell's first novel is 'The Mysterious Woods of Whistle Root', which he began writing after he and his wife moved into a house with a small woods behind it and their daughter was born. Rebecca Bond grew up in the tiny village of Peacham in northeastern Vermont. When she is not painting and writing, Rebecca is busy fixing up her old house and spending time with her two young children.

Industry Reviews

"An enchanting, fast-paced fantasy in the vein of E. B. White."
--Booklist

"Charming black-and-white illustrations add to the overall effect of the story, which will remind readers of beloved works by Kate DiCamillo and E. B. White. . . . It's all rather old-fashioned and quite lovely."
--School Library Journal
