13 Treasures, by Michelle Harrison

In the book 13 Treasures by Michelle Harrison, a girl named Tanya is no ordinary person. Tanya can see fairies! Now, you may be thinking, oh great, another stupid story about fairies, well, you can stop there! Tanya doesn't see what you and I think of as fairies, she sees evil fairies. Fairies that steal from her, and cast evil spells on her. When Tanya's mother gets sick of Tanya's strange behaviors (because of the evil fairies), she sends Tanya to Elvesden Manor, her grandmother's deserted country estate.

The estate is right beside woods, where fifty years ago, a girl vanished in them, and never was found again. When Tanya learns about this mystery, she is determined to investigate further, even if that means going against thousands of evil fairies. But as Tanya learns more and more about the story, she finds herself dangerously close to vanishing into the fairy realm forever!

This book is a very captivating book full of mystery and adventure. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves reading mystery books, as well as fairy books, because this book is not any ordinary fairy story. I enjoyed reading this book with all my heart, and find myself looking around for fairies!
