When I think about how many Neolithic stones with holes in that I’ve dabbled in and through over the course of my life so far then it’s a wonder that I’m alive but I will think twice about even touching one again after reading this book! Genuinely terrifying fairy/horror story that will stay with me for a long time. Beautifully written and memorable characters (both heroes and monsters). Very highly recommended for those not of a nervous disposition!

Such a brilliant story, eerie and atmospheric and full of adventure! I am new to reading middle grade fiction but I’m loving how magical it is… this is definitely one of my favourites! Thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for my ARC!

I was lucky enough to beta read the first chapters of this book when the author was still writing it and was thrilled now to get access to the finished version. This is a perfect read for middle grade readers (and adults obvs) who love a bit of a creepy story. Full of folklore and an interesting sibling dynamic, this story is simply wonderful.
