Synopsis

The third book in a delightfully quirky and funny series for girls told in comic-strip and featuring Glister Butterworth - girl-magnet for the weird and unusual. It is coming up to Halloween and already Glister's father is bustling around getting ready for Christmas! The Butterworths are putting up decorations for the tree and making preparations for the big day, but Glister is sad - her mother is missing and Christmas just wouldn't be the same without her. She is determined to find her mum and solve the mystery of her disappearance. However, boundary changes in the area mean Faerieland and Whixleyshire's borders now meet right outside Glister's front door. Once Glister has ventured into Faerieland in search of her beloved lost mum, very strange things start to happen and her biggest challenge will be finding her way home again.

Media Reviews
Throwing in trolls, witches, magic beans, and a battle swine named Mr Gullinbursti, Andi constantly surprises young and old with his fresh take on fairytale fantasies. -- Paul Gravett
With the third volume of this wonderfully delightful series Watson shows how versatile and wonderful his work can be and why... he's one of Britain's premier cartoonists. * Forbidden Planet *
versatile and wonderful....one of Britain's premier cartoonists * Forbidden Planet *
I can't remember when I last picked up a book that's this original, fun and can be read by the entire family... Definitely a future classic * www.comicshopvoice.co.uk *
The wonderful cartoon style illustrations, with a hint of Manga and the contrast of traditional corn dollies thrown in, add to the mood and supplement and balance the story perfectly. This title certainly seems to hold more depth than its predecessors and is my favourite to date. * Read Plus *
The best and bravest GLISTER book so far which delves into the history of our young heroine's missing mother, broaching the pain of separation and loss. -- http://www.page45.com/store/Shop_Glister__The_Faerie_Host_7785.html * Page 45 *
