About this title

Synopsis:

Ann Staveley, in bed with a virus in her home near Hexwood Farm, watches people disappear into the old farmhouse. Ann investigates and discovers that nothing in the wood is quite right. Things keep getting stranger until the strangeness has spread from Earth to the center of the galaxy. "An elaborate, fascinating, and superbly crafted adventure."--Kirkus Reviews. "Futuristic, virtual-reality technology melds with the realm of Faerie....Marvelously mind-stretching."--School Library Journal.
