Details
In her debut novel, a young adult fantasy, The Bridge and the Butterflies, author Janet Blackwell weaves a tale that began with the true story of a foster child who arrived at midnight dressed only in pyjamas.
Fourteen-year-old Meg Rowlands is angry. Her mum promised it would be just the two of them this summer, but then Mirabel arrives late one night. From the start it’s clear to Meg that Mirabel is no ordinary foster child.
Things begin to happen that shouldn’t. Even time doesn’t quite run the way it should.
Meg is further frustrated to see an alliance grow between Mirabel and her best friend, Will. So when Mirabel’s grandfather appears, Meg grabs her chance to get rid of the usurper. But only then the magnitude of her betrayal starts to come clear.
No one else knows that Mirabel entrusted Meg with a secret. Meg didn’t even tell Will. Now she wants to confide in her mum, but it’s too late.
Powers beyond her control are in charge now. Her mum is gone, snatched from her by a nightmare that can read minds and steal memories. With only Will and Mirabel, how can Meg find the courage to fight back before everything she holds dear is lost forever?
