Elowen and Maplehollow: Volume One

In Maplehollow, Autumn never ends.When a curious runaway Elowen crosses into a town where golden leaves never stop falling, she expects to find a way home. Instead, she discovers a beautiful but peculiar world where seasons have vanished, memories can be stolen, and even the passage of time doesn't behave as it should. With Brindlewick, a waistcoated squirrel carrying a very unusual pocket watch; Thomley Stitch, a mysterious boy with a glowing spring flower; and Alder Quill, the young ghost librarian of the Library of Leaves, Elowen ventures deeper into Maplehollow's secrets. Her journey leads through living pumpkin vines, the ancient Everfold Tree, the eerie Hollow Men, and Hollowmouth Bridge, a place where piano keys don't play music, but memories.At the heart of it all waits the powerful Autumn Queen, a dispossessed Equinox Prince, an ancient Wheel of Seasons, and the mystery of the Turner. As Elowen begins to uncover why Autumn was never allowed to end, she realizes Maplehollow's beauty has come at a terrible price, and something even more dangerous is feeding on the possibilities the town has forgotten.To save Maplehollow, Elowen may have to do the one thing its people have feared for generations: let Autumn end.
