While questioning her gender identity, a young girl is pulled between the dark world of fairylore and the dynamic world of early 20th-century scientific experimentation as she struggles to save her missing mother.
The house Dorothea's great-great grandfather built on the south side of St. John's is said to lie on a fairy path, a gateway to the world of the Little Strangers. It seems to be cursed, and ever since electricity came to the island things have worsened. When Marconi arrives in Newfoundland with a secret mission-- to receive the first wireless trans-Atlantic radio signal-- experiments in the new technology put her family in real peril. Disguised as a boy, Dor joins Marconi's team-- and then the Little Strangers kidnap her mother. Must Dor sabotage Marconi's experiments to save her? -- adapted from front flap
