Fern’s School for Wayward Fae: WIN These Magical Reads

Magical boarding schools, creatures with curious gifts, and a girl who can see how people will die? If a story told through the eyes of a cheeky, mischievous fairy (with the help of author Piper CJ) sounds like your kind of thing, Fern’s School for Wayward Fae is about to become your new favorite series!

Rosemary never quite fit into her own life. Her classmates feared her, she was always in trouble with her teachers, and even her mom didn’t care for her unusual gifts. Sure, she could see how others were going to die, and she was starting to think she was cursed, but that doesn’t mean she’s not curious, capable, and worthy, right?

When she eventually arrives at Fern’s School for Wayward Fae, Rosemary finally discovers the place where she belongs – well, kind of. It took a little time and an open mind. This magical school is filled with enchanting creatures with curious gifts just like hers, from a banshee roommate to a vampire classmate, everyone has a special gift and a taste for magic. Discovering she was half fae and finding her people was eye-opening for her, and it made life a whole lot more magical – and dangerous!

The second book in the Fern’s School for Wayward Fae series, The Grim Adventure, just hit shelves, and it’s even more exciting than the first. Picking up where The Graveyard Gift left off, we find Rosemary on the verge of her thirteenth birthday. But instead of being something to look forward to, she finds herself on the run from a wicked statue that’s come to life as well as other mysterious threats targeting the school. She can see her own future, and it’s looking pretty grim. The second book in the series ties things together perfectly, with even more magic and answers to questions previously left unanswered.

These books are cozy, whimsical, and perfect reads for fans of the peculiar. Want to catch up on the series?
