Är det här du? |
And when Grandpa Jack discovers a toy train engine, and Rufus rings its bell, everything at Feylawn gets much, much stranger: suddenly, Rufus is clear-eyed, and he sees fairies, including Iris, who ropes him into helping to save the fairies, since it was Rufus' great-grandmother who got them into their current predicament: stuck in the human world, unable to travel back into the Green World, and dying because of it.
Rufus and Abigail wind up working together to collect all of the pieces of the train in order to rescue the fairies, but there are many forces lined up against them, including Abigail's mom and Rufus' dad; a faction of fairies called the All-Outers; goblins who want the train for themselves; and otherworldly umbrals, whose smoke "dimpsies" humans, making them relive bad memories before disappearing them.
Marvelous and magical, full of difficult decisions and high stakes.
