"The first of the Perry Brightfield
chronicles and fantasy debut of Sydney writer Amanda Holohan is an
action-packed magical tale for tweens and teens. Fifteen-year-old
Perry is a loner skilled with the sword, an orphan with an ominous
birthmark and a gruff guardian, Jurd.
Unbeknown to Perry, who wishes to
be normal, she faces a heroic battle in her real home, a parallel
universe plagued by a wicked Collector of Children. The worlds collide
when Perry and schoolmate Rowland skip class to go fishing. Sucked into
a land ruled by a sad, mad king, Perry disguises herself in a bird suit
to become an apprentice royal fool."
