Hidden Tails

From author Van Hoang comes Hidden Tails, a captivating middle-grade fantasy novel about two orphan siblings, a mysterious island hotel, and magic hunted to extinction--perfect for fans of The House at the Edge of Magic.

After a failed attempt to run away, orphan siblings Kikka and Axel find themselves shipped off to Rahnor Rock--home of the enchanting Mrs. Wolfson and her grand Healing Hotel. But what the siblings thought was a punishment quickly turns into paradise. In Mrs.Wolfston's care, they get new clothes, plenty of food, an entire island to explore, and other kids to play with.

While Axel is eager to call this place home, Kikka's instincts warn her to be cautious. Kikka's almost certain the hotel is haunted and Mrs.Wolfson's sweetness sets her teeth on edge. The longer they spend on Rahnor Rock, the more unsettled Kikka starts to feel--scrappy, wild, and a little bit furry. . .

When Kikka unearths a terrifying secret about the Healing Hotel and the children Mrs. Wolfston fosters, it's the sign Kikka needed to plan their escape. But when Axel refuses to leave with her, Kikka must decide what home and family truly mean--and what's she's willing to do to protect them.
