Not much time has passed since Ariane and her brother Eric have returned from their first journey to the enchanted forest. And yet they have to go there again: the magical border between the forest and the real world has been tampered with…

This second volume has just as much suspense, wit and charm as part one in this trilogy. Vanessa Walder has created a novel for children, full of imagination, emotion and humour. Her language is vivid and playful, yet easy enough for children aged 8+. With the inhabitants of the enchanted forest Vanessa Walder has created highly loveable protagonists.
