On a Transylvanian estate, five sisters, including the independent Jena and her frog companion Gogu, have a portal which every full moon takes them deep into the fairy realm. But when their father leaves for the winter, they must struggle to hold their family together against the attacks of a domineering cousin and trouble in the magic realm. Despite a promising setting and cast of characters, this book is bogged down by the frustration of a predictable plot and exaggerated antagonists. Avoid this novel--it's just not worth reading, especially while there are so many better books with similar premises.
