She befriends a fortune-telling gypsy girl; returns a child stolen by the selkies to his true mother; confronts a banshee and receives a message from a ghost; helps a village girl outwit--and out-dance--the Faerie Queen; travels beyond the grave to battle a dastardly undead Highwayman; and meets a hound so loyal he fights a wolf to the death to protect the baby prince left in his charge. All fine material for six tales, but it is the seventh tale, in which Trinket learns her father's true fate, that changes her life forever. <br><i>The Seven Tales of Trinket </i>is a<i> Kirkus Reviews</i> Best Children's Book of 2012</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"All storytellers have special powers, as Trinket learns on this incantational Irish odyssey to find her fate and her father." --<i>Richard Peck, Newbery Medal winner</i> <p/>"<i>Trinket</i> is a riveting middle-grade debut--a seamless blend of story and song that tells a thrilling tale of a bard-in-training's quest to find her father.
