How do you approach a green haired faerie with serious anger issues? Answer -- Very carefully. Fifteen year old Ben moves with his mother and alcoholic step-father to a sprawling East Coast estate inherited from a distant cousin. Creole, a half-breed faerie, mourns the loss of her father, the previous Gatekeeper; responsible for preventing the discovery of her world by the world of man. When they meet, the dominoes of fate begin to topple, one after another, leaving them to fulfill their destinies, or die trying. The Book of Em: The Last Gatekeeper, will make your heart weep, your soul soar, and restore your faith in the power of love. With 15 hand drawn illustrations by the wonderful Allecia Robb.
