The Twistrose key - Tone Almhjell
If you've ever wondered what happens to beloved pets after they die, you'll be enchanted by this richly drawn fantasy. When a strange key magically summons 11-year-old Lin Rosenquist to the land of Sylveros, she's overjoyed to learn that the beautiful, wintry country is populated by talking former pets… including Rufus, Lin's dear departed pet vole. Danger looms, however, sending Lin and Rufus on a quest to find a lost child, fulfil a prophecy, and rescue Sylveros from cruel villains. Fans of the animal companions and high adventure in Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass or C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia should definitely pick up The Twistrose Key.
