It’s #BookQW and Salm’s not ‘mad’, but possibly ‘angry’? More from Chapter 11: Salm disappeared down the corridor and returned with a quilt that he wrapped around Luna’s shoulders.

It’s #BookQW and will Coral ‘bring’ herself back to task? More from Chapter 1: “Oof.” The breath went out of Coral. The next thing she heard was Pearl screaming her name.

It’s #bookqw and the ‘night’ has been too exciting. More from Chapter 14: It was late, later than she should expect breakfast.

More from Chapter 5: Beri drew in a breath. “The Isle of Giuthas is a Windborne enclave, hidden from the outside world to protect the trees, but”—he frowned at her—“also us. Winged wizards, the People of the Wind.” Fern stared. Would Gran have told her these things if […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern’s ‘view’ is surprising! More from Chapter 2: Fern sat up fast. The slime yanked on her leg, nearly jerking her free from the tree. She clutched its rough bark.

It’s #bookqw and the farm owner ‘pauses’ to be heard. More from Chapter 5: Daeryn’s innards froze. Miz Gere had no idea what she was asking.

It’s #BookQW and saving Fern’s magical family ‘land’ will be tricky! More From Chapter 2: Gran patted her cheek. “Good, lass.
