A Flash of Fireflies

A magical middle grade book about family, friendship and finding your place, with a delicate touch of magic. Perfect for 10 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 . . .
