NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • Return to Fern’s School for Wayward Fae—where students are part human and part magical. In book 2, one demifae girl discovers that Death itself has Fern's students in sight. . . .
A girl who's trapped in another realm. Her school, full of the peculiarly magical. And a hunt for Death itself. . . .
The month leading up to one’s thirteenth birthday can be exciting, but rarely does that thrill come in the form of a perilous chase. Nearly thirteen-year-old Rosemary Thorpe is on the run from a wicked statue come-to-life as she fights to discover what’s happening with the fae courts. She can see the future . . . and right now, it’s looking grim.
Out of nowhere, legions of mushrooms threaten to overwhelm Fern's School for Wayward Fae. Someone tries to drown all the plants in the greenhouse. And as Rosemary searches for answers, it becomes clearer that something sinister is after the students and their curious gifts . . . and it’s closer than she might think.

      The magically gifted students at Fern's School for Wayward Fae attempt to head off destruction of their realm. This second series installment picks up right where the first left off: with Rosemary Thorpe alone and in danger in the Seelie court. She escapes via the Grim Reaper's home after "borrowing" a hoodie that renders her invisible, then returns to Fern's School a few hours later--only to learn that she's been gone for a month, and everyone's been worrying about her. Rosemary's gift for foreseeing people's deaths has made her aware that something terrible is coming to the school, and her teacher Dante's prophetic abilities have pinpointed her upcoming 13th birthday as the pivotal date. Rosemary and her roommate, Trym, are convinced the Seelie Keeper is behind everything, but the adults--other than Dante--laugh at and dismiss their concerns, leaving the students to investigate on their own and putting them in terrible danger. Fast-paced action sequences will keep readers on the edges of their seats. Those familiar with the events of the first book will experience the most enjoyment while following human-raised Rosemary as she continues to adapt to the magical world in which she finds herself and learns more about her own family. Rosemary and Trym read white. An action-packed sequel that's sure to please series fans.(Fantasy. 8-12)
