Summary

What happens when a fairy godmother's tell-all memoir breaks the very magic that keeps fairy tales running?
 
Mavis Glitterweather thought retirement would be all tea and tranquility. She was wrong. Dead wrong. Catastrophically, princes-throwing-shoes-at-her-head wrong.
 
After decades of waving wands and granting wishes, Mavis decided to write a memoir exposing the messy reality behind those perfect "happily ever afters." The Fine Print of Fairy Tales was meant to be a harmless tell-all about magical mishaps and the bureaucracy of wish-granting.
 
Instead, it's unleashed complete chaos.
 
Cinderella's having an existential crisis about glass footwear and workplace rights for mice. Sleeping Beauty hasn't slept in days and has started fourteen new hobbies (she's terrible at all of them). Snow White's gone full investigative journalist, hacking magical mirror networks and exposing corruption in the Fairy Tale Guild.
 
And they're all coming for Mavis.
 
Because her memoir didn't just spill royal secrets—it broke the magical programming that's been controlling fairy tale characters for centuries.
 
Now the Guild of Magical Narratives wants her memory wiped, angry princesses are throwing conjured shoes, and the entire fairy tale world is teetering between predetermined perfection and messy, complicated free will.
 
Armed with nothing but her sarcastic wand Snarkle, a neurotic goat with hygiene issues, and a kleptomaniac crow who thinks everything shiny belongs to him, Mavis must fix what she's broken. Even if it means giving up everything she's ever known about magic.
 
Because sometimes the most magical thing you can do is let people write their own stories.

    This timeless work of biting satirical wit presents an A-to-Z lexicon of common English terms, and what we actually mean by them. The renowned author Ambrose Bierce produced classic works in a range of genres, from fantasy and horror to realistic tales drawn from his experience in the Civil War. Among his most beloved books is The Devil’s Dictionary, a work of wry humor that remains one of the funniest assessments of American language and manners. Through epigrams, essays, vignettes, and verse, Bierce skewers religion, class, politics, romance, and more.  Included, you’ll find such pithy definitions as:  ·      Acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow from but not well enough to lend to.  ·      Bride, n.: A woman with a great future behind her.  ·      Consult, v.: To seek another's approval of a course already decided on.  And many others.

    “I can’t believe how good this book is.... It’s wholly original. It’s also perfect.... Wilson writes with such a light touch.... The brilliance of the novel [is] that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn’t see coming. You’re laughing so hard you don’t even realize that you’ve suddenly caught fire.” —Taffy Brodesser-Akner, New York Times Book Review 
    Kevin Wilson’s best book yet—a poignant and often humorous novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with remarkable abilities. 
    Lillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help. 
    Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: the twins catch fire when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but it’s the truth. 
    Thinking of her dead-end life at home, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for? 
    With sharp humor and genuine warmth, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unique story of parental love.

    Freelance writer Sora Reid believes in inertia. She’s the odd one out in a family of go-getters, including her Japanese American mom, who hints about losing weight, and her almost-married sister, who needs Sora to get a date for the wedding, otherwise she’ll be dancing with her Scottish great-uncle Bob. For  
    Sora, the phrase “minimal input, minimal expectations” is a way of life. 
     
    The one thing that disrupts her inertia: an intense dislike for Valentine’s Day.  
     
    What is it with the commercial love machine? Why do we get our hopes up, when staying home with a package of bacon and a bottle of tequila is better? Sora’s been betrayed before, and her heart feels like Grandma Mitsuye’s antique Japanese ceramic bowl with its gold-filled cracks. 
     
    When her pledge to stay single inspires readers to #GoSolo, Sora wants to empower her followers. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? 
     
    Enter Jack Mann, a muscle-bound baker Sora hasn’t thought of since elementary school. When a run-in at the grocery store leads to instant attraction, Sora knows she has to shut it down. She can’t #GoSolo and get the guy. She can’t let down her readers. And relationships always end, so why should  
    Jack be different—even though he’s confounding her expectations of love? 
     
    Cheerfully irreverent, bitingly funny, and filled with romantic charm, The Second You’re Single is about navigating the most romantic month of the year, and how love always comes when you least expect it.

    During the years of 1995-2008 I fought the law (Secondary School Administrators) and the law won. I taught with my heart and not my head. I gave my all but did not know this was not allowed. I was nominated Teacher of the Year Twice. Yet lost it because I was teaching out of my area. I left twice in the middle of the year, well three times because the Law was not doing its job. This is a book I feel every new teacher or even a veteran should read. It is a tale all, no holds barred, except changing the names, locations to protect from any law suits. At first I labeled this “Teaching Black While White” because many districts I worked in were minority based or “At Risk.” Now I must warn my readers; this is a male Caucasian teacher not realizing this game is ruled by the opposite sex. Though most of my enemies were male Principals. I will be able to give you some subtle guides as to what to do and what not to do at any school. This book is dedicated to students every where who are stereo typed as low achievers. Also to teachers or educators who are thinking of giving up; don't give them the satisfaction. Stay in the game!
