Truly, deeply, almost impressively dreadful. So Gwen's not upset at all when she's foisted onto her never-before-seen Uncle Matthew for two weeks. Especially when it turns out he has a very opinionated dog named Pumpkin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThings take a turn for the weird when Gwen makes a discovery in the local library. A discovery that involves tiny creatures with wings. And no, they're not birds. They're called Lahdukan. But why can only Gwen and the youngest children, gathered for storytime, see them?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Lahdukan insist that Gwen is destined to help them find a new home. But how can a girl as unwanted, uncourageous, and generally unheroic as Gwen possibly come to the rescue?

She decided to be a writer when she was ten years old, though she didn’t circle back to that idea until she was all grown up and then some. Her first book was \u003ci\u003eThe Penderwicks\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the National Book Award and was a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Bestseller. Four other Penderwicks novels, all of which received glowing accolades and were \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers, followed to round out the series. She is also the author of several picture books and a chapter book. Jeanne's days involve plenty of time writing, gardening, and chasing around her two mischevious dogs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatt Phelan is an award-winning, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author\/illustrator of picture books, middle grade novels, and graphic novels for young readers.
