The Big Book

Это несправедливо. С момента появления на свет сестры Эйлы Ким Базальт живет в ее тени. Эйла – вундеркинд, и все вокруг только и твердят, какая она умная. А по мнению Кима, ей явно не хватает здравого смысла. Однажды на прогулке Эйла находит загадочный предмет, судя по всему, инопланетного происхождения. И у Кима появляются серьезные основания для беспокойства, ведь теперь Эйла, кажется, способна контролировать сознание окружающих… По ее мнению, так будет лучше для всех. А как на самом деле? Похоже, Киму придется не только найти способ спасти сестру, но и защитить Землю от Эйлы и тех сил, которые она высвободила.

But already it’s too late –the power behind the doll already has his sister in its thrall and, later that night, the Ragwitch claims Julia for its own.Fighting against his natural urge to run from this hideous being, Paul is drawn into the creature’s own world.
