Multiple award-winning narrator Tavia Gilbert enchants with her rich storytelling of this delightfully dark middle-grade tale of sisterly love and goblin magic, inspired by Polish folklore and the poetry of Christina Rossetti.

Lizzie and Minka are sisters, but they're nothing alike: Minka is outgoing and cheerful, while Lizzie is shy and sensitive. Nothing much ever happens in their sleepy village—until Minka meets a boy, a boy who is really a zdusze—a goblin— who bewitches her. To save her sister, Lizzie will have to find courage she never knew she had—courage to confront the impossible—and enter into a world of dreams and danger.
