When Saffi's and Milo's mother dies, their father moves them to his parents' decrepit old B&B at Breakwell. But Fortune House holds a dark secret. Henry True, the children's great great grandfather, struck a deal with the fairies many years ago. They gave him all he ever wanted in exchange for family members who mysteriously vanished. The fairies have come to call on Fortune House again, to ask Saffi and her father what they will choose as their Gifts. But Saffi doesn't want a part in Henry True's bargain. The fairies have met their match as she plays them at their own game so that she can save her family. A complex and gripping story with an excellent message about courage for young readers.
