The story hints that Guest’s father cares about him, but the man only steps in to help when Mollie and Guest are in danger. Mollie is spoiled, mean, and says hateful words. Although the Irish folklore is interesting, none of the characters in the story are likable. Mary Downing Hahn weaves a tale of frightening fairies who use trickery and violence to keep Mollie from finding her brother. Can Mollie find the treacherous Kinde Folke and convince them to let go of her brother? Determined, Mollie journeys over mountains and through forests filled with otherworldly foes. But the Kinde Folke do not want Guest back, and they will do everything in their power to keep Mollie from finding them. In the hopes of saving her family, Mollie decides to sneak away and return Guest (the changeling) to the Kinde Folke. Mollie watches the joy and strength leave her mother. Mollie’s mother hopes that the Kinde Folke will take the changeling home and return Thomas. When her brother disappears, her father leaves town and her mother tries to keep the changeling alive. She knows her baby brother could be snatched, but she isn’t expecting a hideous changeling to take his place. Mollie loves her baby brother Thomas and somehow flattering words escape. The Kinde Folke, who are anything but kind, may overhear and snatch the beautiful child away. Mollie knows that it’s dangerous to praise a baby.
