Description
Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week
Unraveller is a spell-binding fantasy from the Costa-award winning author of The Lie Tree, Frances Hardinge.
In a world where anyone can cast a life-destroying curse, only one person has the power to unravel them.
Kellen does not fully understand his unique gift, but helps those who are cursed, like his friend Nettle who was trapped in the body of a bird for years. She is now Kellen's constant companion and his closest ally.
But the Unraveller carries a curse himself and, unless he and Nettle can remove it, Kellen is a danger to everything – and everyone – around him . . .

Featured Reviews
As intricate, entrancing and magical as the author’s previous books, this is a delight. Complex and other-worldly yet with a clear link to our world, it leads the reader to almost question which world is real. . I certainly won’t look at “little brothers” in the same way again.
Unraveller is a wonderfully conceived and written fantasy story for readers of all ages - children, teenagers and adults. It is a story of faerie magic, grievance and curse, misunderstanding and understanding, of love and hate, manipulation, of risky ill conceived plans, and ultimately acceptance that we no-one is perfect but with hard work we can try to do good. Thank you to MacMillan Publishers and NetGalley for the audio ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.
