Rufus doesn’t just make mistakes—he makes Fatal Errors. Shy and awkward, he feels trapped by his
teasing classmates and their constant laughter. But now it’s summer. Rufus is free. He roams the wildlands
of his grandfather’s mysterious property across town, blissfully unaware of the danger up ahead.
And there is much danger. Rufus and his snooty cousin, Abigail, soon become entangled in the elusive
world of the feylings, mischievous immortal creatures desperate to find their way home. In helping the
feylings, Rufus tumbles down a dark path brimming with age-old secrets and difficult truths. Any move he
makes might be his final fatal error—or perhaps, his most spectacular beginning.
Award-winning author Dashka Slater spins a tale of friendship, family, magic, and eternal life in this
