Dusty Carrick, like many of the local children, had played with pixie friends. Unlike them, she and her brother remembered them. The ten acre woods were the pixies home. Ten Acre Wood, is the pixies homes without which they die. But now a developer plans to destroy the wood.

The only hope rests with Thistle Down, exiled from her tribe and stuck in a human body, who must convince the carracks to see the danger they face, defeat it and maybe end her exile.

Ms. Radford writes an excellent young adult novel, with action, wonder and romance, fully developed characters and exploration of why some people change. I enjoyed it and recommend it for the youthful reader, and those who enjoy a well-written young adult novel. ~~ Pam Allan
