Crooked Castle

The dragon was dangerous. The island is worse.

Brook doesn't believe in second chances. She believes in making it through-with as much style as she can manage.

When a beast that shouldn't exist dumps her on a jagged island crawling with hostile creatures, Brook knows three things: she's far from her group home in Weed, California, her past is a blur she can't quite remember, and the only way off is through the massive castle towering over everything.

The island is hostile. The creatures have teeth. And the castle feels like both a threat-and a promise.

Brook teams up with Fox-a clever accomplice with secrets of his own who's clearly not telling her everything. Together they plan to infiltrate the castle, survive the island's deadly tests, and uncover the truth about why they were brought here.

Because this isn't random. Someone wanted her here. But who?

Book 3 in the Casey Grimes middle grade fantasy adventure series. Brook's thrilling story reveals secrets that shape the whole narrative. The wit of Percy Jackson meets the creatures of Fablehaven-perfect for fans of Harry Potter's magical world-building. Over 250,000 copies sold worldwide. For readers ages 8-14.
