Zoey Turner used to see magic everywhere. With a dad like Zoey's, it was hard not to. Not only did they read The Magic of Ever After series together every day, they also used to create original stories. Used to. Ever since her dad died unexpectedly last year, all Zoey sees is danger. Fear has shrunk homeschooled Zoey's life to the span of one block, where she keeps close to the people that she needs the most. Her mum is almost never out of sight, and Jada, the owner of Ever After Books, is always around to talk about their favourite fantasy trilogy. Zoey finally ventures outside her comfort zone for the chance to meet famed author Raven M. Wells, only for the outing to lead to a panic attack.
