#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A teen girl decides to spend her summer helping her eccentric great aunt manage her quaint Vermont inn—only to discover that the fixer-upper is hiding a magical secret—in this cozy and irresistible new young adult fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop.
“Frosted with whimsy and sprinkled with joy, The Faraway Inn is a testament to why Sarah Beth Durst is the queen of cozy fantasy!”—Tricia Levenseller, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Darkness Within Us
When sixteen-year-old Calisa arrives at her great-aunt’s B&B in rural Vermont for the summer, she’s shocked to find a rundown inn rather than the cozy bed-and-breakfast she was expecting. Grumpy and eccentric, Auntie Zee is determined to keep anyone from messing with her beloved inn . . . even though she clearly needs the help.
To convince her great-aunt to keep her around, Calisa sets to work fixing up the inn, enlisting extra help from the groundskeeper’s (handsome) son. But the longer she stays, the surer she is that there’s something strange about the B&B—and its guests. Something almost . . . otherworldly.
The inn is keeping a magical secret—but to protect the place she’s come to love, Calisa must unravel the truth before it’s too late.
Who doesn't love a magical inn story? 16-year-old Calisa needs a change of scenery to get away from her ex. Thankfully, her great-aunt has a cozy bed-and-breakfast up in rural Vermont that's perfect for her to get away from the Brooklyn scenery. But upon arriving, she finds out a few important details that she would have much preferred to know beforehand. 1) The place is rundown. Like, very rundown. 2) Her aunt, Zee, has no clue that Calisa was coming, and really does not want her here. And 3), and most important: there's something supernatural about the inn, and its guests. So working with the handsome son of the groundskeeper, she tries to fix up the inn and unravel the truth of the whole situation.
This book is absolutely gorgeous and interesting. The setting-building and scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the plotting is impeccable. Calisa is a fantastic main character, and her chemistry with Jack is fantastic. Plus, the supernatural worlds she gets to jump into as the story keeps going on are well-fleshed out, fitting of the characters themselves, who are also fleshed out really well.
Thanks so much to Delacorte and NetGalley for the E-ARC!
