The Whatnot

Description

The thrilling sequel to Stefan Bachmann's steampunk faery fantasy THE PECULIAR. This is JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR NORRELL for kids, mixed with a dash of THE BARTIMAEUS TRILOGY... Bartholomew Kettle couldn't save his sister. He watched her be pushed through the door between worlds, into the icy forest of faery. He saw her take someone's hand. And he promised that he would find her. But what if he can't? And what if the sinister forces who were hunting them both haven't given up, but are just biding their time? Stefan Bachmann spins a consuming tale of magic, of good and evil, of family, and of figuring out where you belong.

Stefan Bachmann was born in Colorado and spent most of his childhood in Switzerland, where he graduated from the Zurich University of Arts with degrees in music composition and theory. He is the author of The Peculiar, his debut, which was published to international acclaim when he was nineteen years old. He is also the author of The Whatnot and A Drop of Night.
