What happens when magic is broken?Something is wrong with 12-year-old Aurora's magic. After a Vanishing spell sent her all the way from Fairendale to the Whispering Woods outside Rosehaven, she tries to make the best of her situation-but her magic makes things dance. She's already lost countless potential shelters, delectable meals, and practical dresses (with pockets, of course) to the sky, after they danced away from her. How does a girl survive alone in the woods without magic?When she meets the prince of Rosehaven, who's looking for Rapunzel's invisible tower, and learns that evil people in the land are capturing children and turning them over to someone for reward money, she vows to save the children. After all, she is one. Unfortunately, this means surrendering herself to the captors. And what she finds at the end of her quest-children locked in cages, a society doubtful of good magic, and a powerful foreign sorceress from across the sea-will further complicate Aurora's magic problem. Can she channel her magic's wonky curse-making things dance-to save her and all the caged children before the sorceress accomplishes her evil, unknowable plan?The Girl Who Bewitched the Red Shoes is the seventeenth book in the Fairendale series, an epic fantasy middle grade series that explores both familiar and unfamiliar fairy tales, legends, myths, and folk tales. The world of Fairendale revolves around villains and heroes-all on a quest for what they believe is right. Throughout the series, the story of King Willis and his determination to keep the throne of Fairendale (at all costs? Perhaps. Or perhaps not.) is woven into the story of his son, Prince Virgil, heir to the throne and friend to the village children, and the story of fairy tale children fleeing for their lives-children who become what we know as fairy tale villains (according to traditional stories), for one good reason or another. One cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero.

Of all the transformation possibilities, he had to become a monstrous spider.Frederick, one of the lost children of Fairendale, is folded up inside a sack of sorts, thanks to a Vanishing spell that transported him to an underground cave near Lincastle. Upon hatching, he learns that he is a massive, monstrous spider in a whole colony of them. The spiders have rules and rituals, and Frederick wants nothing to do with them. He stands out lamentably; he is, after all, human under his spider skin.A friend within the colony (if a giant spider can be called a friend, that is) warns Frederick that those spiders who are different, who do not blend in, do not last long in the group. He must conform or die. But when Frederick sneaks away from the sleeping spiders and discovers an evil plot brewing in Lincastle, he must decide: conform and let evil run its course, or rebel and risk his life for a noble rescue attempt?The Boy Who Frightened Miss Muffet is the fifteenth book in the Fairendale series, an epic fantasy middle grade series that explores both familiar and unfamiliar fairy tales, legends, myths, and folk tales.

Or perhaps not.) is woven into the story of his son, Prince Virgil, heir to the throne and friend to the village children, and the story of fairy tale children fleeing for their lives-children who become what we know as fairy tale villains, for one good reason or another.

Science gave her life, Death now rules her.Raised from the dead by science, Yasmin was claimed by the Grim Reaper and sent to the kingdom of Fairendale with a command to usurp the throne. Now a captive queen of sorts, she begins to question whether she was made for more-good or evil, it is anyone's guess, only let her make her own decisions. But who is she without the Grim Reaper? And how can she possibly escape his hold?When Yasmin acquires a magical quill pen and uses it to create a monster army that turns the woods around Fairendale darker-placing everyone in the realm in grave danger-she believes it was her own handiwork, at least until she tries to bring a monster into Fairendale castle and meets an invisible wall. Her anger unfolds, along with her conviction that she is fully capable of ruling a throne without the help of the Grim Reaper or anyone else-and how many casualties will her quest for freedom require?The Woman Who Stole the Throne is the thirteenth book in the Fairendale series, an epic fantasy middle grade series that explores both familiar and unfamiliar fairy tales, legends, myths, and folk tales.

Revenge keeps dangerous company.Oscar, one of the lost children of Fairendale, has been transported, by way of a Vanishing spell that saved his life, to the uppity land of Lincastle. Here he watches, from a distance and with a heavy chip on his shoulder, the people of Lincastle strut about their streets in fine clothes and hats and shoes that, unlike his, do not have gaping holes. He watches, mostly, a book shop that reminds him of the one his mother owned in Fairendale.When Oscar steals a book from the shop and is put on display by the law keeper of the land, he is rescued by an unexpected person-Freya, princess of the land. But soon his danger becomes her danger, and men storm the halls of the castle to capture her, deeming her unworthy to inherit the throne because she pardoned a criminal. Oscar and Freya must learn to fly-or lose their precious freedom forever.The Boy Who Loved a Swan is the twelfth book in the Fairendale series, an epic fantasy middle grade series that explores both familiar and unfamiliar fairy tales, legends, myths, and folk tales.
