Meg's little wooden figures take on a life of their own. When a local girl falls ill, the villagers are suspicious and Meg is forced to flee for her life. Can she use her powers to confront the demons that stalk her?
An atmospheric novel set in the dark and dangerous world of seventeeth-century England.
Meg has somehow always know about the ancient power of trees and wood. She loves carving and her little wooden figures take on a life of their own. There's Dilly-Lal, always ready to dance; the Seeing-Eye, which lets Meg see places even though she's not there; and there's Bolly-Bolly, carved from a special tree and full of magic - if he feels like cooperating.
‘This was one of the best books I've read this year and I'm sure anyone I know would agree. The description, the pictures it put in my head, every little bit was great. I loved it’ - Wilton Primary School
