Synopsis

From New York Times–bestselling author Dashka Slater comes the satisfying sequel to The Book of Fatal Errors!

Rufus may have successfully sent the feylings home to the Green World, but he still has one pesky feyling to deal with: Nettle, his sometimes enemy, now mentor. Nettle is in charge of helping Rufus and his cousin Abigail protect Feylawn, their
grandfather’s magical and mysterious homestead.

But this difficult task becomes even more dangerous when a leopard appears in the woods without warning; strange, waterlogged women arrive with prophecies of impending doom; and a goblin begins digging his way back to Earth, hungry for
revenge. Meanwhile, Rufus’s father is intent on selling Feylawn to the highest bidder. Can Rufus and Abigail save Feylawn and its magic? Or will they have to say goodbye to the feylings forever?

I LOVE everything Dashka writes. She just *gets* kids. (And me) “Did you go to burglary camp or something?” This book is so full of imagination & humor & depth. A beautiful continuation of the magical Feylawn middle grade series! Get ready to meet my new favorite character: the CALAMAND!......more

Goodreads review by Lisa

Because the fairies were successfully sent home, Rufus and Abigail have an impossible task - maintaining Feylawn - per Iris' checklist - with only Nettle to help, and Nettle is more trouble than he's worth. And - someone is trying to buy Grandfather's property, it's a couple of Goblins, and Rufus is......more

I didn't read the first book. I highly recommend doing that so I'm going to reserve judgment. I can see how one might really enjoy this if they were invested in what had already happened to the characters. I was mainly confused.......more

It was a good book, but I read it before the first one, so I had to figure a lot out on my own. But I guess that's my fault.......more
