A lost girl, a magical cow, and a heartbroken cowgirl -- the mythical fate of an ancient nation hangs on the three of them. Featuring: The Eerie Otherworld 👻 Witchy nuns 🧙‍♀️ The Salmon of Wisdom 🦈 An evil twin 🖤 Epic battles ⚔️ Chief of the Dead 💀 And much more! #BookSky 💙📚 #MG #AmQuerying

Image of a circle made of a gold Celtic braid, with an arrow through it and the sihlouettes of a young woman on horseback, a girl walking beside her, and a cow with long horns in a Celtic design style.

Text reads: The Braided Thread; upper MG fantasy; friendship saga; Irish folklore & mythology; 75k words - stand alone with potential for series

Text reads: "A lost girl, a magical cow, and a heartbroken cowgirl -- the mythical fate of an ancient nation hangs on the three of them.

When lonely twelve-year-old Colleen Duffy finds a braided thread of gold winding through the trees of an Illinois woods, she gets pulled into the eerie Otherworld of Irish legend and the mythical past of the Emerald Isle. After befriending a tough cowgirl named Eafah, Colleen's newfound second sight reveals a vision of a deadly giant with a powerful evil eye. The friends soon learn that a magical cow, the Gloss Gavalahn, is key to the freedom of Ireland and in danger from Moravahn, the Chief of the Dead, and the tyrannical giant, Baelore. With the entire country at stake, they must save the Gloss, but when Eafah loses her heart and risks her head, Colleen faces losing her only friend."

Text reads: Comps: The Edge of the Silver Sea, by Alex Mullarkey (relationship struggles and legends of the Celtic Cailleach); Vanya and the Wild Hunt, by Sangu Mandanna (the discovery of ancestral mythic culture obscured by migration).

Themes: Halloween lore, friendship & family, colonization & migration, equality & freedom, growing up & loss

Text reads: "The deer stood beside her and looked at the golden thread, its breath coming heavily from its nostrils as the girl’s breath came heavily from her own, and she watched her hand reach towards the braid until her fingers wrapped around it.
As soon as she grasped it, Colleen felt herself being pulled through the woods at lightning speed. She might as well have been a big fish caught on a line as she was dragged helplessly between the shrubs and trees. Amazingly, she wasn't hurt, though she sped so quickly that everything around her was a blur.
Before she even had a chance to be afraid, she was snapped to a sudden halt, falling on her backside into a pile of dry leaves within a clearing around a small lake.
Her hand still held the braided thread, which was now only several feet long.
And at the other end of the thread was a length of cable-patterned wool being knitted by a pair of wooden needles grasped in two knotty, aged hands made of stone."

My first #KidLitArtPostcard “You, as a kid.” When I was a child, I always stuck my feet up into the air and imagined the ceiling was the floor. There was so much open space for me to be free.
