W. W. Marplot

    Gertrude Dee Marplot kuratiert und bearbeitet eine Sammlung esoterischer Erzählungen, die ursprünglich von ihrem Vorfahren, Professor Welkin Westicotter Marplot, gesammelt wurden. Diese Erzählungen, die oft in seltsamen und furchterregenden Situationen angesiedelt sind, stellen Teenager in ungewöhnlichen Umständen dar. Trotz ihres anscheinend alten Ursprungs werden die Geschichten mit einer modernen Sensibilität präsentiert, die sich auf junge Protagonisten konzentriert, die außergewöhnliche Herausforderungen meistern. Frau Marplot bemüht sich, die bezaubernde Essenz dieser wiederentdeckten Manuskripte für heutige Leser zu bewahren.

      First, Arty finds a sweaty, bearded ax-swinging warrior Dwarf scaring his dogs. Soon enough, Emma, Cry, and other middle-school friends also find fairy creature—Elves, Spriggans, Pixies, and a hoped-for Dragon—crashing into their normal homework-doing, backpack-carrying, phone-charging schooldays. Why are these magical beings here? What should be done? Is that ax sharp? Can Pixies be given aspirin? Arty, with his friends—and spying jerks and questionable strangers with long names—follow the clues and try to find out, even as things turn dark and dangerous. The mythical beings take sides. The Gwyllion, that legendary Old Woman of the Mountains, has a sinister plan that will turn the neighborhood into a fantasy battleground.
