The Family Goodfolke - by Roshani Chokshi (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

"Hilarious, heartwarming, compulsively page-turning...As soon as you step through this door into Faerie, you will NOT want to come back. Consider yourself warned." --Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times author of the Percy Jackson series

A whimsical new middle-grade fantasy adventure starring a half-fairy, half-human family from the New York Times bestselling author of the Aru Shah series, perfect for fans of The Swifts and Impossible Creatures.

*This first edition hardcover features stunning endpapers, along with intricately designed sprayed edges, a map of Faerie, and black and white interior illustrations!*

Eleven-year-old Bug Goodfolke knows her family isn't normal. Her father is an exiled fairy prince, her mother is a human lawyer who (literally) has eyes on the back of her head, and there's a portal to Faerie in their home that's strictly off limits. While Bug loves their in-between life, she can't resist wondering about the magical world just on the other side.

So, when her older sister Vesper decides to sneak into Faerie to reconcile with their royal family, Bug follows. There, the sisters encounter a world of marvels, from flying aurora horses to a book wyrm with pages for scales, while also dodging mischief from their estranged uncle. As it turns out, families are tricky, fairy ones even more so, and soon Bug will have to make a choice that will change the fate of their family--and Faerie--forever.
