This companion (not a sequel) to Castle In the Mist features a mysterious circus, an ominous psychic, and a wind that whisks Tess and Max away from their vacation in Devon, England. Which fantastical world will they find this time?
A year after discovering the wonderous castle in the mist, Tess and Max are back in England for another summer with the Aunt Evie--this time in a rented house in the seaside town of Devon. And while Evie is delighted to explore the antique shops, Tess and Max are much more excited about the traveling carnival that's come to town. There are rides, games, animals, acrobats, and a hall of mirrors. There is even a psychic, with a beautiful wagon all her own.
In a visit to the psychic's wagon, while Tess is being hypnotized, the wagon starts to move. Before Tess can shake herself out of the hypnosis, before Max can do anything, they're traveling--along with the rest of the circus--too quickly for the two of them to jump out. But where are they going, and what awaits them?

Who doesn't love a great mystery? This book presents the eerie accidents and unexplained disappearances that have occurred in the region known as the Bermuda Triangle.
Even before it was named, the Bermuda Triangle--roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico--had gained a mythic reputation. The Bermuda Triangle became famous for making boats and ships vanish, and for snatching planes right out of the sky. But are these stories true? And if they are true, is there a more sensible reason that refutes the bad karma of the region? With so many mystifying events to learn about, readers will love disappearing into this story.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Rump, comes the true story behind another unlikely hero: a grumpy dwarf who gets tangled up in Snow White's feud with the wicked queen.

At first, life aboveground is a dream come true. Queen Elfrieda Veronika Ingrid Lenore (E.V.I.L.) is the best friend Grump always wanted, feeding him all the rubies he can eat and allowing him to rule at her side in exchange for magic and information. But as time goes on, Grump starts to suspect that Queen E.V.I.L. may not be as nice as she seems. . . .
When the queen commands him to carry out a horrible task against her stepdaughter Snow White, Grump is in over his head. He's bound by magic to help the queen, but also to protect Snow White.

He'll have to dig deep to find a way out of this pickle, and that's enough to make any dwarf Grumpy indeed.
