An enchanting journey into magic that is both mysterious and wondrous. Mup knew OF magic before the raggedy witches, but she hadn't experienced it and didn't really know anything about it. Then her dad is abducted and carried off into someplace dark and mystical, and her family pursues. There she discovers much about herself, those she loves, and the world. It's a good adventure made all the better by Kiernan's lyrical writing. The opening: "The moon was strange the night the witches came and Aunty died. The color of brass and huge, it seemed to fill the sky. It stared down at the car as Mam drove in and out of the dark country valleys, and blotted the stars with its milky light."
