The story of two young girls: Jo, a very modern teenager and Balyet, a beautiful girl-spirit of the mountains, who is frozen in time by an ancient curse and destined to live forever in terrible isolation. Her longing for a companion touches Jo, but her offer of friendship carries a deadly price. Patricia Wrightson was the winner of the 1986 Hans Christian Andersen Award for Children's Literature and has also won The Observer Teenage Fiction Prize for "A Little Fear". She is also the author of "The Nargun and the Stars" and "Moon-Dark".
