The Worry Knots (Ages 8–12)

Fog rolls down from the mountain lake every seventh autumn, and this year it brings a peddler with a cart of a hundred lanterns who offers, very politely, to take your worries away. Tamsin Gullick's mother says yes. Three days later, Tamsin's little brother Rufus is going see-through, and nobody but Tamsin can remember him. With a three-legged dog, a bell-ringer's apprentice, and an old woman's cottage full of braided string, Tamsin must learn what a worry really is before her brother fades for good.
