Twelve-year-old Poppy meets a water nymph and exchanges her favorite book for a lion, but her deal has unexpected consequences that Poppy must fight to correct. - Grand Central Pub
A charming middle-grade novel about old magic, new adventures, a winged lion learning to roar, and a young girl fighting to be heardâperfect for fans of classics like The NeverEnding Story.
Â
Poppy Woodlock believes in magic, but so far, she hasnât found any. Itâs been two weeks since her parents moved their family to Oregon to undertake their biggest project yet: revitalizing the once-grand Lark-Hayes Manor. Her older brother instantly found his place, but after being thrown into middle school midyear, Poppy is feelingâ¦invisible. So she retreats to where sheâs always felt most at home: books and magic. And if the fantastic and supernatural exist, certainly they can be found in this mysterious old estate.
Â
A late-night prowl leads Poppy to a desperate water nymph, with whom she strikes a dangerous bargain. In exchange for the thing she loves mostâher favorite bookâ Poppy now has the secret of a lifetime: her very own flying lion. Sampson is exactly what she needs to prove magic does exist and, more importantly, that she is not to be so easily dismissed.
Â
But the cost of ancient magic is astronomic. With every night Sampson grows, another book disappears, and Poppy soon faces the harrowing reality that without their favorite stories, the lives of everyone around her begin to unravel.
Â
Fixing the chaos will require Poppy to be clever and bold, and even at her smartest and loudest, sheâs not sure it will be enough. But she has to try.
