The Folk Keeper

(2) 4-6 Corinna has disguised herself as a boy so that she can be a Folk Keeper--one who protects a household from wrathful spirits. Drenched in imagery of the sea, the story draws on selkie lore, and Corinna's true identity--a secret far greater than just her boyish disguise--is eventually revealed. Steeped in atmosphere, the novel contains an intricate plot, vibrant characters, and dangerous intrigue.
