| Publisher Description: The Breakfast Club meets Grimm's Fairy Tales in the lair of an adolescent psych ward. Milly's evil stepmother commits her to a pediatric psych ward. That's just what the wolf wants. With bunk mates like Red, who's spiraling out of control; Pig, a fire-bug who claims Milly as her own--but just wants extra dessert--Vanet, a manic teen masquerading as a fairy godmother with wish-granting powers as likely to kill as to help; and the mysterious Wolfgang, rumored to roam for blood at night; it doesn't take long for Milly to realize that only her dead mother's book of tales can save her. But Milly's spells of protection weaken as her wolf stalks the hospital corridors. The ward's a Dark Wood, and she's not alone. As her power crumbles, she must let go of her magic and discover new weapons if she is to transform from hunted to hunter. |
