Synopsis
Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect Facebook friends. It's little wonder, since she's had a fairly rough life. Her father left when she was a baby, her stepfather just died and her mother's almost given up - in fact, she's sent her to live with her grandmother in cold and sleepy Maine to 'keep Zara safe'. Zara doesn't think she's in danger; she thinks her mother just can't cope. Zara's wrong. The man she sees everywhere - the tall, creepy guy who points at her from the side of the road - is not a figment of her imagination. He's a pixie. But not the cute, sweet kind with little wings. Maine's got a whole assortment of unbelievable creatures. And they seem to need something - something from Zara...

Review
'An entertaining compelling thriller...A winning combination for KS3 readers' --School Librarian
`Teenagers feeling bereft after the end of the Twilight series will find some solace in Need . . . The creepy atmosphere of Maine is well crafted and there are some enjoyably quirky characters'
--Bookfest
