Young Lucy suffers from seizures that cause her to sit and stare as if in a trance. Unbeknownst to her parents, she travels through her bedroom wall into a realm called Fairyland.This is a short story, and naturally suffers from the same problem as most short stories. There simply isn’t enough information! The premise is nice with the world of fae being so near to this special little girl. I would have enjoyed having it expanded upon to the point of a full novel or even a series. There is so little time in this story to get to know the characters, who are all quite interesting.The only hang up about this story is that Lucy’s parents are so ready to believe Fairyland exists when their other daughter reveals the truth about Lucy’s whereabouts. Most parents, regardless of the level of stress they are under, would find that impossible to believe. They would likely dismiss June and continue looking for Lucy in all the wrong places. With a bit more convincing, I would believe that part of the story.The ending comes too quickly in this delightful tale. I was disappointed not to have more to the story. Ms. Twist is certainly an author to watch, and I’d be interested in reading more to this story.I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
