Reviewed by my pre teen nephew. This is a really good story about a boy my age and the strange things that happen to him. He meets some interesting characters and learns a lot about friendship and families. Very good 4 out of 5

Into the Faerie Hill by H.S. Norup was such a good book. Loved every single second of it. I couldn't stop reading this book for a bit. Totally recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can.

I enjoy faerie stories in almost all of my media, which is why I was excited to read this charming children’s book. “Into The Faerie Hill “turned out to be an absolute delight and I was effortlessly drawn into a whimsical and enchanting world. This book felt like the perfect escape, and I never wanted it to end.

The story follows Alfred, a 12-year-old boy who stands out in many ways. Despite one of his legs being shorter than the other, he excels at swimming and has learned to adapt to a life that constantly shifts due to his father’s work. On top of that, he is still coping with the loss of his mother. When he goes to stay with his grandmother for a few weeks, he quickly becomes aware that something—or someone—might be watching him. His grandmother’s cottage is tucked between towering cliffs and dense forest, a place brimming with life, including faeries and other hidden creatures. Though Alfred is the only one who can see them, their home is in danger, and he soon realizes it’s up to him to stand up for them. In doing so, he might just uncover the truth about what really happened to his mother.

At its heart, Into The Faerie Hill is a story about family, belonging, and protecting the world around us. The book beautifully weaves themes of nature and self-discovery into its magical setting. I especially loved the friendship between Alfred and Saga—their shared love for their home and its creatures made their bond feel so special. This book is both enchanting and deeply moving, blending wonder with heartfelt moments. I can’t recommend it enough! Helle’s stories always have such warmth and depth, and I’m already looking forward to whatever she writes next.

Of course! Here’s a rewritten version with your requested changes while keeping the original meaning intact:
