Get cosy at The Faraway Inn, the YA fantasy from bestselling author of The Spellshop, Sarah Beth Durst. When Calisa arrives at her great-aunt's bed and breakfast for the summer, she's shocked to find it run down rather than cosy. Grumpy and eccentric, Auntie Zee is determined to keep anyone from messing with her beloved inn . . . even though she clearly needs the help. To convince her great-aunt to keep her around, Calisa sets to work fixing up the inn, enlisting extra help from the groundkeeper's (handsome) son. But the longer she stays, the surer she is that there's something strange about the B&B – and its residents. Something almost . . . otherworldly. The inn is hiding a magical secret – but secrets are like doors. Once Calisa opens this one, she won't be able to go back . . . 'Filled with magical mysteries, whimsical surprises, and a dash of sweet romance, The Faraway Inn is the perfect cosy read' – Axie Oh, author of The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
