In this third visit to Fern\u2019s School for Wayward Fae, all the new students are gearing up for the annual Yule Hunt, a magical winter solstice scavenger hunt that will help them develop their gifts. The competition also gives the winner (or winners) an unspecified, though highly sought-after, prize. Thirteen-year-old Rosemary is eager to learn how to manage her visions, which show her how people will die, especially since she\u2019s recently had a vision of her own death as the result of an icicle that \u201ca masked stranger\u201d throws at her. She\u2019s unable to focus fully on the Hunt, however, since she\u2019s also dealing with some of her friends, who are shunning her after learning that her father is the Grim Reaper. Then her roommate, Trym, begins acting strangely, and soon Rosemary develops suspicions about who\u2019s to blame, although she\u2019s unsure of their motivations. Readers will enjoy solving the Yule Hunt puzzles alongside Rosemary and seeing how quick thinking gets her out of some scary situations. The ending raises the stakes considerably for the next installment. Meanwhile, Rosemary\u2019s developing relationship with her father provides a subplot with heart, and fairy Fern\u2019s occasional interjections add humor. Central characters are cued white, and there\u2019s diversity in the supporting cast.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
