The Pilgrim's Pendant - K. J. Cole

Being a teenager is not easy. At least, that's how Jane Pilgrim feels. As the eve of her thirteenth birthday draws near, Jane feels more isolated, scared and lonely than ever before. Little does she know that her life is about to take a turn beyond her wildest expectations. Transported to a world where magical creatures roam free, mystery is around every corner, and decisions really are a matter of life or death, Jane has to learn quickly to adapt to her new surroundings. But what she doesn't know is that there is something deep within her that makes her extraordinary. All she needs is a little self-belief, and the courage to accept herself as she is.
