Oona and the Swan
About this ebook
When kindergartener Oona Robinson comes home with a swan, it’s hardly the first enchanted animal to visit the Castle in Kilkenny…but it sure poops a lot. Her teen brother, Aiden, helps set up an extra bedroom with plenty of straw and a blue kiddie pool. And he’s going to tell their mum, really he is, just she’s awfully stressed right now.
Maura Robinson has money trouble. Her ex-husband is only paying for four children, but she’s raising a fifth while her friend Saba is stuck in deer form. Besides, she’s getting troubling reports from school because her other son won’t stop pretending to be a dinosaur.
But when Saba steps up to give Maura some “wealth,” chaos ensues, threatening the Robinsons’ fragile balance between the real world and the Fae they love.
Read now, to visit an ancient castle, filled with fairy tales, found family, and not-so-helpful enchanted animals.

About the author
Characters you connect with. Adventure. Love. Family… And endings that are more than a sugar rush.
When Christy Matheson is not throwing ordinary characters into fairy tales, she is busy raising five children. (Very busy.) She writes character-driven historical fiction with and without fantasy elements, and her “fresh, smart, and totally charming” stories have won multiple awards.
Christy is also an embroidery artist, classically trained pianist, and sews all of her own clothes. She lives in Oregon, on a country property that fondly reminds her of a Regency estate (except with a swing set instead of faux Greek ruins), with her husband, five children, three Shelties, one bunny, and an improbable quantity of art supplies.
