Overview

Fairy tales are fun...until your life becomes one. It's 1987, and fifteen-year-old Frances Fye might be a little too obsessed with fairy tales. But when grief and the loneliness of small-town life threaten to overwhelm her, stories carry her off to magical adventures. Then a new boy shows up at school-mysterious, magnetic, and shockingly similar to Fran's favorite fictional hero. And when a wrong-number phone call leads to friendship with Trowbridge, an exiled bridge troll with sinister intentions, Fran's world cracks wide open. Suddenly, the fairy tales she's always loved aren't just stories anymore. They're real-and dangerous. Entangled in the deadly schemes of fae royalty, she has little choice but to depend on the most unlikely allies: her middle-aged English teacher who's more than he seems, the secretly sensitive school rebel, and her less-than-charming ex. To escape the mythical lands she once longed for, Fran must face the truth she's spent years avoiding: real courage isn't found in books. It's found in her. Carrie Anne Noble delivers a heartfelt, imaginative YA fantasy full of 1980s nostalgia, magical twists, and the bittersweetness of finding your courage. Trowbridge and Fye is a charming, clever adventure perfect for anyone who ever wished their favorite fairy tales could come to life. PERFECT FOR READERS WHO LOVE - 1980s nostalgia meets fairy tale magic - Grief-driven girls finding unexpected strength - Portal fantasies with dangerous fae courts - Bittersweet coming-of-age with heart - Unlikely alliances against mythical schemes
