When Keira discovers her grandma's Word Weaver pen, and writes a story for the Girls' World fairy-tale contest, she starts to wonder if anyone ever truly lives happily ever after.

Reviews
"The pace is effective for building a deep sense of mystery . . . in Keira's first-person narrative, readers will discover clues right along with her." -- Booklist"Keira's first-person, present-tense narration . . . works. The story's overarching theme of the power of words is timely and poignant . . . A smart, peppery, action-packed plot teams up with playful, astute characters." -- Kirkus Reviews
