Rachel Griffin Knows a Secret Everyone Else Has Forgotten... ...She has discovered she has an older sister named Amber, who was stolen-away as a baby. Nobody but Rachel remembers her—not even their parents. Rachel is determined to find Amber and restore her to the family. But how? She doubts it will be as easy as overhearing the name Rumpelstiltskin. Meanwhile, Rachel has bigger problems. Wild fey have invaded the campus. If they so much as bewitch even one more student, Roanoke Academy will be forced to close its doors. Rachel and her friends must solve this menace before the academy cancels more classes or, worse, the Year of the Dragon Ball! But she has hope—if she can keep the school open—because, as Rachel's late grandmother told her, Masquerade balls are a time of wonder...when anything is possible.

Miranda, daughter of the magician Prospero from Shakespeare's Tempest, lives in the modern age. Upon discovering that her father has gone missing, she must discover the location of her other siblings and convince them to save their father, before the Three Shadowed Ones destroy the Family Prospero. She is accompanied by her company gumshoe, an airy spirit stuck in a body that looks a bit like Humphrey Bogart. Humor, mystery, wonder.

Before coming to Roanoke Academy, Rachel Griffin had been an obedient girl—but it’s hard to obey the rules when the world is in danger, and no one will listen. Now, she’s eavesdropping on Wisecraft Agents and breaking a lot of rules. Because if the adults will not believe her, then it is up to Rachel and her friends—crazy, orphan-boy Sigfried the Dragonslayer and Nastasia, the Princess of Magical Australia—to stop the insidious Mortimer Egg from destroying the world. But first she must survive truth spells, fights with her brother, detention, Alchemy experiments, talking to elves, and conjuring class. Oh, and the Raven with blood-red eyes continues to watch her. It is said to be an omen of the Doom of Worlds. Will her attempts to save her world bring the Raven’s wrath down upon her? And as if that were not bad enough, someone has turned the boy she likes into a sheep.

Winter brings its own magic to the Roanoke Academy for the Sorcerous Arts. Petite Rachel Griffin should be having an amazing freshman year. She has the Princess of Magical Australia and crazy, orphan Sigfried the Dragonslayer for friends, and a handsome sorcerer boyfriend romancing her with charms magical and otherwise. But otherworldly forces keep conspiring against the people and world she loves. What she knows, she dare not tell. Rachel’s perfect memory is a blessing…and a curse. While everyone around her can be made to forget the truth, Rachel cannot. When she runs afoul of the true force responsible for hiding these terrible secrets, Rachel must face her most desperate hour yet. This on top of winter fairies, missing friends, Yule gifts, flying practice, and a rampaging ogre…oh, and schoolwork. Then there is the matter of the state of her heart and a certain undeniably attractive older boy…
