The School between Winter and Fairyland

Author(s): Heather Fawcett

Children's Books | Adventure

A spell-binding tale of magic, monsters and mystery, set in an enchanted boarding school. Full of suspense and exquisitely written, this is middle-grade fantasy at its best - and most original - for fans of Nevermoor.


Twelve-year-old Autumn is a beastkeeper at Inglenook School for Magicians, which she secretly dreams of attending as a student. Instead, she must care for Inglenook's menagerie of dangerous creatures so the king's future monster hunters can study them. But when she isn't mucking out the griffin stalls, Autumn searches for clues about her twin brother's mysterious disappearance. Everyone else thinks that he was devoured by the terrifying Hollow Dragon, but Autumn isn't so sure.

Enter Cai Morrigan, the famous young magician prophesied to one day destroy the Hollow Dragon. When Cai comes to Autumn with a secret problem, Autumn agrees to help on one condition: that the 'Chosen One' join her quest to find her brother. Together they uncover the dark truth that lies at the heart of Inglenook School - because every school has its secrets…


Product Information

The School Between Winter and Fairyland really kept me on my toes. Autumn is a beast keeper at Inglenook, a school for magicians but she is not one to be looked down upon. She is clear minded,modest when it comes to herself, yet she has quite a short temper and a loud personality. So, when Cai Morrigan,the most famous magician ever to attend Inglenookasks for her help she is stunned beyond belief. Cai Morrigan is the supposed 'chose one', the one to bring down the Hollow Dragon. However, Cai has a problem. A BIG problem. Autumn agrees to help him....if he does something for her in return.

The book was amazing! So many twists and turns! I loved it and I recommend to any age.
