A book involving a child with missing mother, transported to magical world/forest & comes across a harpy












1















I read this book in 2009/10 in grade 8/9 and would love to find the name.



The details I remember include a boy or girl with missing/presumed dead mother and they come across or were given either a box/necklace that belonged to the mother. I believe the father is still alive in this. The child opens it/puts it on and is transported to a magical world.



I vaguely remember it being a forest of some sort, where the character comes across a harpy that (from memory) seemed to know of the child's mother.

  • Hi there! That's some info already, and I know you said you didn't remember much else, but still, could you please take a look at these guidelines on story-ID, see if they trigger any more memories you could edit in? :)
