Doorway to Deephollow is a 2015 B.R.A.G Medallion Honoree
Fourteen-year-old Gracie Harrold trudges through her days at Westside Middle School, fed up with the drama that goes on there and forever battling the heartache since her older brother, Ethan, went missing a few years earlier–a reality that never seems to elude her heart and soul. Days are long and sometimes hard. Then one day she opens her locker and sees something that turns her world upside down.
A brilliant looking girl stares at Gracie from the back of her locker. In one moment, her ordinary life takes a flip and becomes anything but ordinary. Anwen is an Alderite, and she’s just as stunned to see Gracie as Gracie is to see her. On a spur-of-the-moment impulse, Gracie ventures into her locker and steps through to Anwen’s world, Deephollow. There, she finds herself in a spectacular place called Aldermarsh Pond that is filled with fairies, magical creatures, and gorgeous Alderite boys she can’t shake out of her mind.
Gracie is drawn through the magical door again and again, making new friends while she’s there, including the cutest boy she’s ever seen in her life, Aeron. But, things get sketchy when the Protector Fairy of Aldermarsh Pond gets word of Gracie’s presence. Now she’s out to get Gracie; to make matters worse, Gracie has uncovered hidden secrets about why the door has opened to her in the first place, filling her with unanswered questions about her own life and the life of her missing brother.
