This book might be the reason I quit coffee as breakfast: Christopher Lee's description full throttle bolt-removal action got my heart pumping! Thanks for the adrenaline kick first thing in the AM!
A child slips through a portal into the land of the Fae and traverses the Otherworld with the help of a young elf, while her parents are left to deal with the changeling that was left in her place.
She was alone. Abbie was often alone (if you don’t count her parents), but she didn’t mind. She had friends among the other kids in the neighborhood, but she tended toward flights of fancy, playing with her dog, and scribbling stories in a battered notebook in her large, childish handwriting.
