Book description
On the surface, Peter McAllister has a good life: a good school, good
friends, good times. So what if his best friend is a girl -- and sort
of a geek? And so what if she might be more than a friend.
Underneath, it's a different story. It's been years since the death
of his parents landed him in this small town with his hardly-there
uncle, but he still feels as if his life in Clarksbury is just an inch
deep. Does he really belong? Only Rosemary seems real. But that
reality comes crashing down the first time he kisses her -- and she
rejects him.
Then a mysterious woman named Fiona appears. She tells him 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?
James Bow's first novel, The Unwritten Girl, introduced
readers to the strange and compelling worlds of Rosemary and Peter in
2006. A transit enthusiast, urban planner, and freelance journalist,
James lives in Kitchener, Ontario, with his wife, poet Erin Noteboom.
