About this ebook

The Hollow Kingdom, the first book in Clare Dunkle's acclaimed fantasy trilogy, will transport readers into a magical realm that Newbery Award winner Lloyd Alexander calls "as persuasive as it is remarkable."

For thousands of years, young women have been vanishing from Hallow Hill, never to be seen again. Now Kate and Emily have moved there with no idea of the land's dreadful heritage—until Marak decides to tell them himself. Marak is a powerful magician who claims to be the goblin king, and he has very specific plans for the two new girls who have trespassed into his kingdom . . .

The Hollow Kingdom is a 2004 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Ratings and reviews

Best book ever!!!! And that's saying something for me. I cant get interested in many books so me liking this is "a miracle". Cant wait to read the next one once I get my hands on it.

I'm actually rereading the book for a fourth time I forgot how good it was. It's really a MUST-READ kind of book!

I loved it. It's so perfect. Love, magic, and girl powder, all the right things for a bad ass book.
