More about the book:

Twelve-year-old Madsi is searching for her older sister, who has been kidnapped by the Northern Lights. Madsi sets off on a journey to rescue her sister, joined by a very annoying neighbor boy and a magical girl who lives in the Lights. 

Taylor also is the author of “The Witch of Festa Falls” in the Being Ace anthology — a short story likewise steeped in Norwegian folklore and featuring Birga, who grows up to become the village witch in “Madsi the True.”
