A Flash of Fireflies Zusammenfassung

A Flash of Fireflies Aisha Bushby

A magical middle grade book about family, friendship and finding your place, with a delicate touch of magic. Perfect for 10-12 year olds and fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Michelle Harrison and Kiran Millwood-Hargrave and The Girl Who Speaks Bear.

Hazel's new life in England should have been the stuff of fairy tales; after all her Great Aunt's cottage looked just like a gingerbread house, with a magical garden and whispering fireflies promising quests and adventures.

But as Hazel struggles to deal with the challenges of the everyday world - making friends, missing her family - she
also learns that every fairy tale has a dark side. And there are terrifying creatures that lurk in the shadows . . .
