Only three people see and understand the power in a grove of larch
trees called Girlwood: the power that holds fairies, and that gives
Polly the ability to protect her reckless teen sister Bree, who runs
away from home. Can Girlwood protect against developers who want to cut
down the forest? A fine story of magic and fantasy evolves in a fine
read for young adults who want uplifting adventure.
