In a nutshell
Maisy and Skyler, both 12, are next-door neighbors and lifelong friends: she is careful, he can never turn down a dare. When Adrian, the class bully, dares everyone to sneak into the wing of the school that is closed for renovation, Skyler says yes… and Maisy won’t let him go alone.
At the end of hallways that never seem to end, a hidden door opens onto Elyniss: singing flowers, nymphs, unicorns and a crystal witch who keeps the creatures prisoner. And when they come back, a surprise: the same day starts all over again. To break free, they will need courage, friends… and maybe even help from their worst enemy.
At the end of the book: a map of Elyniss, a bestiary that tells the real origins of the creatures (nymphs, trolls, unicorns…), a quiz and a page for inventing your own creature.
