Bookroo's summary

Izzy's quiet town turns extraordinary when her sister Hen vanishes into a mystical forest. Drawn into the land of Faerie, Izzy must navigate a world of magic and danger to rescue Hen. With the help of a boulder that moves, a ghostly girl, and a boy who is also a stag, Izzy faces a brewing conflict in Faerie. Can this unlikely team help her save Hen before time runs out? Discover a world where nothing is as it seems and every choice could mean the difference between rescue and loss.

From the publisher

Three-time Newbery Honor winning author Christina Soontornvat’s debut novel, now with fresh new cover art for a new generation of readers! All Izzy wants is for something interesting to happen in her sleepy little town. But her wish becomes all too real when a mysterious song floats through the woods and lures her little sister Hen into the forest…where she vanishes. A frantic search leads to a strange hole in the ground that Izzy enters. But on the other side, she discovers that the hole was not a hole, this place is not Earth, and Hen is not lost. She’s been stolen away to the land of Faerie, and it’s up to Izzy to bring her home.But inside Faerie, trouble is brewing–and Izzy is in way over her head. A ragtag group of outlaw Changelings offer to help, but she must decide whether a boulder that comes to life, a girl who looks like a ghost, and a boy who is also a stag can help her save Hen before it’s too late.Praise for The Changelings: “Fresh and imaginative–new inventions on every page.
