pickAfter the death of his wife, David Morgan uproots his 3 kids from their home in America and moves them to the tiny coastal village of Borth, Wales (pictured). The move is hardest on the middle child who hates his new home until he finds an ancient artifact that connects him through time to the bard, Taliesin.

Major Susan Cooper vibes, if you get my drift.
Here we go, already. So many good little tid bits in these books. #sarahwoodbury is a genius like that.
