When a terrified gnome is stranded on Earth, fourteen-year-old Allie Thomas enlists the help of a powerful, yet unconventional, Guardian to save him.
Pettikin is a novel that feels familiar and magical, much like the world its young heroine inhabits. From the very first page, the twin realms of youthful reality and magical possibility allow the reader to enter a world they can relate to, while inspiring them to gleefully flip the pages as a twin universe beyond their imagination unspools.
About The Book
Aunt May’s funeral was strange, but things get stranger when fourteen-year-old Allie Thomas encounters Pettikin Periwinkle, a gnome with a love of sweets and a penchant for screaming, who is stranded on Earth after the death of its only Gatekeeper.
To get Pettikin home, Allie must enlist the help of a powerful, yet unconventional, Guardian and prove to him that she has what it takes to be a Gatekeeper.
