Of Sorcery and Snow

Rory might be ready to star in her own fairy tale, but there's more danger than happily-ever-after in this third book in the Ever After series, which Kirkus Reviews calls a fast-paced combination of middle school realism and fairy-tale fantasy. Life at Ever After School has become familiar for Rory. She's been on two quests, she's a great sword fighter, and she has terrific friends. But familiar is no fairy tale, and Rory is still anxiously awaiting the chance to star in her own. But as her connection to the Snow Queen continues to grow, Rory realizes her starring role might be well underway. When the Snow Queen sends the Pied Piper to kidnap several children, including the sibling of a fellow EAS-er, the teachers think the rescue mission is too dangerous and won't send any kids. But Rory, Chase, and Lena are determined to help, and it's not long before they find themselves in more trouble than they can handle. Then again, it wouldn't be Ever After School if things worked out according to plan...
