But now the government has built a dam that will force the Shaws to relocate, and they're running out of time before their home will be flooded. Sybaline and her cousin Nettle can't imagine life without the valley and its magic, so they decide to stay. Using magic, they build an invisible wall around their home. As the water rises, they learn a terrible truth: the water will continue to rise, leaving them to live beneath the lake itself.

If she can't find a way to escape, Sybaline and the ones she loves could be trapped in the valley forever. Praise for The Wolf of Cape Fen: "A stunning seaside fairy tale that will absorb readers until the very end."--Booklist "A mesmerizing piece of magical realism packed with mystery, suspense, and, most important, love."--School Library Journal "Intriguing mystery... Laced with dreams, this perplexing fantasy rewards persistent readers."--Kirkus Reviews "Softly spangled black and white chapter title illustrations preface brief dream interludes belonging to other Fenians, emphasizing that the whole community is bound up in the baron's magic and helping to harmonize the novel's contrasting moods of coastal-town hominess and stark unease."--BCCB
