Twelve-year-old Tuva has always felt different; she\u2019s never had any friends. She hides mysterious scars on her neck behind her long, white-blond hair. But when her classmate Axel goes missing in an ominous fog, and Tuva finds his gym partner, Rasmus, being led through the forest by what turn out to be actual fairies, she\u2019s thrust into the center of a thriller that\u2019s all the more suspenseful for resisting the temptation to be frantic. More people go missing around Runmar\u00f6 Island, tensions mount in the tiny Stockholm archipelago community, the police seem stumped, and Tuva and Rasmus team up and take matters into their own hands.
