Discover your inner child once again in this debut fantasy adventure for fans of Madeleine L’Engle, Diana Wynne Jones, and E. L. Konigsburg.

When the unexpected moves in next door, anything can happen in this YA-friendly fantasy adventure reminiscent of the classics but with a modern, fandom sensibility that has been popularized by authors like Rainbow Rowell and TV shows like Stranger Things.

Freddy doesn’t want people to think she’s weird. Her family makes that difficult, though: her deaf stepbrother Roland’s a major geek, and her genius little sister Mel’s training to be the next Sherlock Holmes. All Freddy wants is to survive high school.

Then two extremely odd neighbors move in next door.

Cuerva Lachance and Josiah definitely aren’t normal. Neither is their house, which defies the laws of physics. Neither is Freddy’s situation, when she suddenly finds herself stuck thousands of years in the past with her very, very weird neighbors. And that’s only the beginning.

 

Kari Maaren is a Toronto-area writer, award-winning musician and cartoonist, and academic. She created the webcomics West of Bathurst and It Never Rains, and is also known as a musician for her popular song “Beowulf Pulled Off My Arm.” Weave a Circle Round is her first novel.

 

“Tantalizing questions to hold readers’ attention to the end...Intriguing.” —Booklist

“This appealing story reinforces the power of choice and responsibility in the midst of frightening circumstances, speaking to teen and adult readers alike, all of whom will appreciate the author’s attention to Freddy’s emotional journey as well as to fantastical details.” —RT Book Reviews

“Wonderful characters, masterful control of material and a refreshingly different kind of plot. I’d have loved this book when I was twelve, and I love it now.” —Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy-Award winning author Jo Walton
