It’s #BookQW and Fern is a typical ‘girl’ who doesn’t understand magic! More from Chapter 8: They hiked, not over the ridge as Fern had expected, but along a mountain stream. “That’s a nice little cabin,” she said to make polite conversation. “Yours, too?” Beri nodded. “Why couldn’t I have stayed there while Willow removed […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern makes a usual ‘wish’! More from Chapter 1: It looked ordinary enough, but their bathroom held a secret. That secret allowed Fern to keep two promises this weekend—to Mom that she’d be safe at home and to Gran that she’d be there for their inspection. Pulling out the pouch, Fern removed […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern feels she’s in a ‘vise’! More from Chapter 3: Rescue Guy heaved backward and dug in his boot heels. Her slide slowed, but her body stretched, muscles straining. The guy yelled, “Rip energy’s got her,” at the same time Raven swore and threw himself at her. She flinched, expecting him to […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern’s young mother fought for her! More from Chapter 11: Fern sighed. “I asked, and Mom says she’ll never go back to where she grew up. She loves her work.” “But she kept the magic safe.” Beri shrugged one shoulder. “Having it within reach again seriously changes things. If she won’t return… […]
It’s #BookQW and will ‘candy’ bribe a badger? More from Chapter 16: This was crazy. Clearly, the badger didn’t want her cutting across the meadow. If he didn’t leap at her after that wild dance, he probably wasn’t going to. “Well, how am I supposed to get up there, then?” She jerked a thumb toward […]
It’s #BookQW and will Fern be caught in a ‘dreaded’ lie? More from Chapter 1: “I’m happy you’re spending time with friends,” Mom said, and guilt stabbed Fern. She bent and hugged her mom so she didn’t have to say anything. Mom had allowed her to skip helping at their booth for the weekend because […]
It’s #BookQW and does Fern ‘flatly’ accept magic? More from Chapter 1: It looked ordinary enough, but their bathroom held a secret. That secret allowed Fern to keep two promises this weekend—to Mom that she’d be safe at home and to Gran that she’d be there for their inspection. Pulling out the pouch, Fern removed […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern in not ‘early’ to meet Gran. Could Hilda have a message? More from Chapter 2: Fern closed her hand over the teardrop. She put the glass into her pouch, calling out, “Gran?” No answer. Strange. Fern glanced into the open bedrooms along the hall and strode to the main room at […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern must ‘attempt’ her heart’s dream! More from Chapter 27: (I’ve cut out any spoilers!) Few others had hair like theirs, and none as straight or long—falling to their waists—as their black strands. Fern’s was now done up in more than a dozen braids, and Merlin’s blew free in an undulating plume, […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern must fight ‘past’ a chilling magical barrier. More from Chapter 3: The ground tilted toward the bushes. Gasping, Fern lost her footing and slammed onto her belly. She slid, screaming, “Ohmigod, no!” Rescue Guy heaved backward and dug in his boot heels. Her slide slowed, but her body stretched, muscles straining. […]
