E M McIntyre, author
A telepathic dog. An ancient prophecy. Two devious faeries. 14 yr old Abby Fletcher must unravel their connection when she is thrown into a world of unknowns after receiving a mysterious message from a frightening beast: The Red King must set me free. Determined to discover the meaning of this puzzling phrase, Abby sets off to explore a nearby Scottish mountainside in search of clues. What Abby doesn't realize, however, is that it's not a matter of where she will find her answers but when. Whisked back to the early 14th century, Abby must find the courage to solve the mystery of the Red King and save not only herself but a group of powerless captives wrapped up in a faerie plot.

TOP NOTCH YA FICTION
This magical, intriguing, and utterly unique story is a seamless blend of modern fantasy and old world legend. With the loss of her mother, Abby moves to the U.S. for a change of place, change of pace, and a new beginning. Upon her return to Scotland, however, she meets an enchanted dog -- and the story blossoms from there. This is top notch YA fiction: clever, well-written, charming, and sophisticated. I found myself rooting for Abby every step of the way -- and marveling at the author's attention to detail and nuance. The final clues/riddle/solutions to the mystery at the center of this story (which would be criminal to spoil) is a special treat. Not to be missed.
