"Have you ever heard of the Elementals, magical spirits of Fire, Water, Earth and Air? I hadn't. I still wouldn't have, if my little sister Rachel hadn't knocked her latest toy into the fire. Okay, so it never would have happened if Mike and I hadn't been playing piggy-in-the-middle with her and her stupid little trinket. But how was I to know the Elementals were imprisoned inside? Or that once it cracked open, our house was going to become Elemental Central? Not your usual problem, you'll admit. Tricky, even. Likely to displease mum and dad, if they find out. Which I hope they don't - especially since Mike has been using the Elementals to get revenge on teachers. Not a great idea, as it turns out. And it's not like we didn't have enough trouble already, what with the trinket's original owner wanting to get it back, and not caring who gets hurt in the process. Sometimes, I wish I'd done what I wanted to do that first night when the house went crazy - packed my bags and headed for the horizon."

Content Warning: Bound With Skin is intended for a teenage audience, and contains themes, scenes, ideas and images that are unsuitable for younger readers."Changelings are made in Faerie from earth, water, fire and air, bound with skin.

He can no longer hide the truth - not after he crossed over to the Moorland Realm, and took Chris with him.Nor is Tom's the only secret to be revealed. It falls to the tramp, Old John, to explain the terrible price that must be paid by those born of the union between mortal man and immortal faerie. It is a price that sends Tom on a dark journey in search of meaning, a soul, and escape from the dreadful inevitability of death.

Adam Ellwin is doing Hard Time: Solitary Confinement with Hard Labor. Three days ago, the Brown Man went crazy and tried to kill everyone. Adam's been grounded ever since. With any luck, he'll be free again by the end of today - but for how long? It's hard to stay out of trouble when there are fairies in the house, especially when one's a mischievous boggart like Hobin, and the other's Holly - a baking-obsessed brownie with a stubborn streak a mile wide. Even the garden isn't safe - Granny Goggie's out there, prowling around in a bad mood. Dad's cut off her scrumpy supply, and she's dangerously sober. Worse still, Adam's best friend, Sophie, keeps banging on about the Fairy Rescue League. She's full of ideas - every single one of which would get him grounded and make him miss the village fete. And if that isn't bad enough, there's the small matter of the Green Man, a fairy god, living at the bottom of the garden with plenty of ideas of his own...

Hobin is the boggart of Ellwin Hall. Not so very long ago, there were boggarts in all the big houses, but not anymore. Now there's just Hobin - the last of the fairies. Or so twelve year old Adam Ellwin has always believed. Then one day he happens upon a starving fairy and brings him home. Hobin isn't at all pleased to share his family or Ellwin Hall, and when Hobin's not happy, everyone knows about it. But Hobin going on the rampage is only the start of Adam's problems. It turns out that there are more fairies out there - and they all have a knack for getting Adam into trouble. So does Sophie, Adam's best friend, with her crackpot idea about the Fairy Rescue League...
