Can daydreaming Emme Foster from the small Appalachian town of Crow's Egg save the earth from the ultimate eco-disaster? Yeah, right. Well, that's what she gets for making a wish to be in a faerie tale. Now there's a haunted secret to solve, a spellbound key to decode, and a whole planet to clean up to stop the awful Faery Fall-not to mention saving the last bridge between the mortal and faerie realms. Good thing Emme and her friends, sleuthing Bailey and ghostbusting Hunter, don't know about the shapeshifting goblins, grumpy gruagachs, and stinking, deadly doonshades...at least not yet. This first book of The Lost Key Series is a fantastic journey to the true origin of magic. Full of multi-generational wisdom and impish shenanigans, combined with themes of loyalty, courage, self-empowerment, and earth stewardship, Once Upon a Key is destined to become a favorite with adult and young readers alike.
