“When your grandmother’s magic fizzles, your dragon-cat eats forbidden cookies, and your mother is the kingdom’s most infamous queen-what’s a girl to do but accidentally break a curse? Kara Midthorn never planned to become Miastro’s most wanted princess. She’s just trying to survive high school, keep her grandmother from burning down the apartment (again), and stop her two-pound Pygmy Draaline, Zabi, from snacking on magical delicacies. But when an oozing box, a memory-challenged witch, and a boy who hasn’t bathed since the last century crash into her life, Kara’s “normal” gets tossed out the window-right along with the gnome dung. Now, with the city’s magic on the fritz and her own mysterious powers making her the hottest gossip since the last royal scandal, Kara’s stuck dodging cranky faeries, awkward family secrets, and a mother with a flair for dramatic kidnappings. The only thing standing between her and total magical meltdown? A snarky, time-lost boy named Milo, a talking lizard-cat, and a plan as shaky as a pixie on espresso. Full of banter, magical mishaps, and unexpected friendships, Malachite Moon is a whirlwind for anyone who loves wild wit, and found-family chaos. Ready for a fantasy where the most dangerous thing isn’t the magic-it’s your family’s recipe for disaster?”–
