Nightsweats in Bigelow Hollow - YA Fantasy - Coming Soon
This new release, from March Books (slotted for publication by March 31, 2009), will be a joy to young adults everywhere. It is the first in a series that is bound to captivate audiences.
Sterling, CT, January 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- ...she ran headlong into a young birch. Ricocheting off of the tree, like the metal sphere in a pinball game, she lost control. The momentum spun Kelly around, knocking her over. It sent her sprawling over the edge of the ravine. Then she was falling, and falling, and falling...
Imagine walking through the park one night and being catapulted out of reality as you know it. Suddenly, you find yourself surrounded by mystical creatures called Animelfs. These creatures can transform themselves into any animal at will. Balthazar, Fagan and Maximillion also have the unique ability to travel anywhere, instantly, simply by stepping into a painting.
Nightsweats in Bigelow Hollow is a character driven YA fantasy. The story revolves around Kelly Black, a college-aged heroine who is one part Buffy Summers and one part Nancy Drew. Kelly is reluctantly yanked out of her hectic but infinitely normal life and into a Twilight Zone adventure she won't soon forget. Her path leads to the unwelcome discovery of revelations about her family and herself that she might prefer remain hidden. Kelly learns that the Animelfs did not come upon her by accident. They sought her out because their destinies are, in fact, inextricably linked. Kelly must deal with the discovery of her mother's deception about their true heritage and the startling insight into her father's nefarious, secret endeavors.
Kelly is reluctantly swept into a journey to the Black Mountain to save the Prince of the Animelfs from torture and possible death at the hands of the evil Morgrath. On her journey she meets Garth and discovers that her attempts to insulate herself from love have not been as successful as she had hoped.
Falling off of the mountain face while doing battle, Kelly is fatally injured. With Garth's love and Fagan's assistance, Kelly is pulled back into the land of the living to continue her quest. Garth and Kelly are eventually captured by the Grulag, evil mountain-dwelling trolls. After a tortuous trek through the bowels of the mountain, they are saved by Sargon, a young wizard who has been sent to their rescue.
Ultimately, Kelly is forced to do battle with the evil Morgrath, the man she believes to be her grandfather. Using her new abilities, she is able to defeat her foe, but only at the cost of a dear friend. After successfully completing her quest, Kelly is catapulted back to her life in Bigelow Hollow, changed forever.
Nightsweats is the first in a series of YA novels that speaks of courage and determination as Kelly discovers strengths and feelings she did not know she possessed. However, Kelly's greatest challenge still lies ahead of her. She must confront her father about his inhumane treatment of countless innocent animals. The outcome of that confrontation has yet to be determined.
Review copies are available upon request to; March Books, P.O. Box 55, Sterling, CT 06377 or call 866-851-7621.
