Cia Anderson hasnât slept in ten days, but she doesnât feel one bit tired. She knows that something is up, even if no one but her best friend believes her. Hundreds of pairs of shoes have appeared in her locker, small woodland animals are trailing her, and the only boy sheâs ever had a crush on has been quarantined with a mysterious illness. Thereâs even talk of closing her middle school.
Something strange is going on.
Cia discovers that she has accidentally upset some fairy tale characters who are trying to find their happily ever afters in the modern world. Desperate to set things right, Cia enlists the help of Cinderellaâs stepsister, gets kidnapped by Snow Whiteâs dwarves, and makes a deal that she might regret with the Evil Queenâall while trying to stay one step ahead of the furious princesses who want her dead.
Turns out thereâs nothing meaner than a fairy tale character who canât find her prince charming.
