Strange things are afoot in Whosebourne.

An invisible offaltosser throws trash everywhere. Patience Fell gets blamed. Cobblemaulers dig up the streets at night. Patience Fell gets blamed. Gabledancers stomp through the roof...

Patience is done taking the blame.

She digs into the mystery, with the doubtful help of a very old book, the crazy crow-lady in the attic, and a wheezy boy named Linus who just might be a wizard. What she find unleashes an ancient enemy called the Chaos Court and catapults her into a world of magic and danger beyond her wildest imagination. It will take all her courage (and a few good whacks with a kitchen broom) to save herself, her friends, and the whole town from certain doom.

A brisk, mischievous middle-grade romp for readers who crave cheeky fairy chaos, plucky kid defiance, and the giddy rush of stepping through the everyday into wild, broom-swinging magic.
