Synopsis:
Nevan lives a simple life. He works hard in the fields with his brothers and his grandpa and adores his mother wholeheartedly. He's a good boy who usually stays out of trouble, but even when Grandpa warns him to stay away from the pond, he can't help feeling curious about it...and the creatures that watch him whenever he's near.
Black has captured the true feeling of dealing with faeries in this short but heartwarming, if not a little unsettling tale, of a family farm and its fae populated pond.
The main character is a young boy who is the only one (other than his Grandpa) who can see the faeries that inhabit the farmyard water feature. Nevan is charming, hardworking and a most well-behaved youngster. His character is in direct opposition to the creatures that live in the water - they are definitely not kind, although perhaps as charming - but those who would venture too close quickly discover how deadly the fae are.
The author has also done an outstanding job in creating vivid descriptions of 'life on the farm, back in the day', and creating a short tale with various layers that will have each reader walking away taking something different with them.
The last paragraph will send shivers down your spine.
A perfect fairy tale.
