"Somewhere over the rainbow, all spell is about to break loose...
Dorthea of Emerald is so over being a princess. Sure, the Glenda Original ball gowns and Hans Christian Louboutin heels are amazing perks, but not if it means being forced to marry the not-so-charming prince Kato. Dorthea has her own ideas about “happily ever after” and she’s willing to take matters into her own hands.
But when wishing on a (cursed) star turns her kingdom upside-down and lands her parents in a place called “Kansas,” Dorthea’s got one shot to undo the chaos. Now, it’s up to her, with pixed off Prince Kato in tow, to find the Wizard of Oz and undo the curse…before it releases the wickedest witch of all and spells The End for the world of Story.
Spelled is a wildly funny, subversive twist on classic fantasy, where the heroine doesn’t wait for rescue—she delivers the punchlines."
"Can Princess Dorthea and Rexi have to get the land of Story its happy ending? Find out in this magical conclusion to the Storymakers trilogy, a wickedly funny Wizard of Oz retelling and fairy tale mashup perfect for fans of the Twisted Tales series and Jen Calonita
Dorthea of Emerald is used to being treated like the princess she is. Except she's trapped in a strange land called Kansas, where no one recognizes she's royalty. Not her parents, not the hospital's doctors, not even the cute patient who keeps flirting with her. The only one who knows who she really is? The evil Blanc. And she's thundering into Kansas to erase Dorethea's—and everyone else's—story.
Back in Camelot, outlaw Rexi's got her own problems…like being locked in a tower. She may have trained with Robin Hood, but she's going to need to steal more than a key to escape Gwenevere's trap to take back Excalibur. And even if Rexi manages to get free, she still needs to reclaim her storyline from Morte's wicked plotting.
It's not over until the last spot of ink dries.
Dorethea and Rexi won't give up their happily ever afters without a fight. But with the villains of Story scripting their triumph, does this spell The End for Dorethea and Rexi?

"Fairy-Tale Survival Rule #52: No matter how difficult the obstacles or all-powerful the evil villain, one can rest assured that the hero of the story never dies. The sidekicks though…they should be worried.
Rexi Hood never wanted to play by anyone else’s script. As the proud daughter of Robin Hood, she’s grown up an outlaw. But sidekick? Accomplice? Sorry, that wasn't in her story description. With her fate bound to a princess’s power, a dangerous curse threatens to turn her into nothing more than a forgotten footnote. However, Rexi refuses to let her name fade to ink.
With the rules of Story stacked against her and a wicked villain gaining strength in Camelot, Rexi hatches a plan as wild as she is: steal the legendary sword Excalibur and carve out a destiny of her own making.
Her journey is anything but ordinary. The boundaries between worlds blur as Oz, Camelot, and Sherwood Forest twist together in unexpected ways. Every turn brings fresh dangers, cunning villains, and impossible choices. With sharp wit, unexpected allies, and her own brand of bravery, she’s determined to rewrite the rules, and her own future, before time runs out.
Perfect for fans of classic fairy tale retellings, laugh-out-loud YA fantasy, and stories where underdogs refuse to stay in the shadows, Wanted is the second book in The Storymakers series, where every page dares you to believe that a sidekick can steal the spotlight."
"Fairy-Tale Survival Rule No. 52: No matter how difficult the obstacles or all-powerful the evil villain, one can rest assured that the hero of the story never dies. The sidekicks, though . . . They should be worried.
Rexi Hood is proud to be an outlaw. After all, she's the daughter of the infamous Robin Hood. But sidekick? Accomplice? Sorry, that wasn't in her story description. Yeah, she and Princess Dorthea of Emerald have been inseparable since they teamed up to fight the wickedest witch. But if Rexi doesn't figure out how to break the curse that binds them, forget being overshadowed by the spirited princess—Rexi's going to become a Forgotten, wiped from the pages of Story and reduced to a puddle of ink.
Not happening. No way in Spell.
Rexi's plan? Steal the sword Excalibur and use its magic to write her own tale. But Gwenevere has opened a new Academy of Villains in Camelot and danger lurks behind every plot twist. And you know how it goes in Story: keep your friends close and your enemies closer . . ."
