\n\n\n\n

Emma tries to balance her newfound abilities as a druid with only being ten years old. Chores and having to go inside before dark leaves only a few hours a day to save the forest\u2015or at least her home town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strange magic plagues the people of Widowswood Village. None of the adults take it seriously, as the effects are short-lived and whimsical. Emma suspects something darker is going on, having listened to Nan\u2019s tales of night pixies who aren\u2019t as nice as the Silverbells. Convinced someone or something wishes ill upon her home, she decides to do what the adults won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid the chaos, the daughter of a wealthy gem merchant goes missing. Emma\u2019s father and the entire Widowswood Watch spend all their time searching for the abducted girl. Worse, a bully blames Emma for the girl\u2019s disappearance, but after dealing with a banderwigh and the silk thieves, he doesn\u2019t scare her at all\u2014until he turns violent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma knows<\/em> everything is connected, and isn\u2019t about to let a mean-spirited older boy stop her from protecting her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
