Aiden's little sister has been kidnapped into a magical world. Armed with nothing but a wet mitten and a hurley stick, he's determined to bring her home...

Sixteen-year-old Aiden Robinson is just trying to learn to play hurley and fit in with his new Irish classmates, when a patchwork-cloaked stranger snatches his little sister, leading Aiden and his not-quite-friends into a world that definitely didn't exist yesterday. Aiden doesn't care if he's slipped into a fairy tale, he just needs to get his baby sister home—before his stepmother notices she's gone and never trusts him again.

The boys expected a magical gift from a wise woman, but not that she looks just like their literature teacher — and has a message from Aiden's real life. Then his other sister follows to "help." Now he's got twice as many sisters in danger, and his magical weapon is the...Hurley Stick of Daylight—?!

Aiden's got to learn to be a hero (and apparently how to play hurley) if he's going to survive the Terrible Valley and get both sisters home alive.

This novella is perfect for readers looking for cozy fantasy, with lots of adventure and a happy ending. This is a retelling of the Irish fairy tale "Lawn Dyrrig and the Knight of Terrible Valley."
