Effie Truelove believes in magic, as does her grandfather Griffin (although he refuses to do any magic, let alone teach Effie how to use it). After a mysterious incident leaves Griffin close to death, Effie is given an unusual silver ring and told she must look after her grandfather's library of rare and powerful books. But then the books fall into the hands of shady scholar Leonard Levar, and Effie is propelled into the most dangerous adventure of her life. Now, Effie and her friends-nerdy Maximilian, rugby-mad Wolf, helpful Lexy, and eccentric Raven-must discover their true powers if they are to get the books back. And Effie alone will have to travel to the Otherworld, where she will uncover the true meaning of the strange old book called Dragon's Green... Effie looked at her grandfather,knowing he had been trying to tell her something important. she willed him to try again. there was a long pause, during which griffin seemed to summon all his strength. he pulled Effie close to him, so only she could hear what he said. "find dragon's green," he said in a low wisper. by: scarlett thomas
