About the Book



Real life and fairy tales collide in a new middle-grade series from #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Descendants series Melissa de la Cruz.



Book Synopsis



Real life and fairy tales collide in Never After: The Thirteenth Fairy, book one in the new middle-grade Never After series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Descendants series, Melissa de la Cruz.

Nothing ever happens in Filomena Jefferson-Cho's sleepy little suburban town of North Pasadena. The sun shines every day, the grass is always a perfect green, and while her progressive school swears there's no such thing as bullying, she still feels bummed out. But one day, when Filomena is walking home on her own, something strange happens.

Filomena is being followed by Jack Stalker, one of the heroes in the Thirteenth Fairy, a series of books she loves about a brave girl and her ragtag group of friends who save their world from an evil enchantress. She must be dreaming, or still reading a book. But Jack is insistent--he's real, the stories are real, and Filomena must come with him at once!

Soon, Filomena is thrust into the world of evil fairies and beautiful princesses, sorcerers and slayers, where an evil queen drives her ruthless armies to destroy what is left of the Fairy tribes. To save herself and the kingdom of Westphalia, Filomena must find the truth behind the fairytales and set the world back to rights before the cycle of sleep and destruction begins once more.

Fun, imaginative middle-grade fantasy

Never After is the first book in a new fantasy series. It's perfect for middle grade or upper elementary school readers, or as a light YA or adult read. Filomena, the main character is beloved by her parents but bullied at her California middle school. She visits the bookstore after school to purchase the thirteenth and final installment in her favorite book series, Never After, and finds out, not only is the book not available, it's never going to be released. Walking home disappointed, she finds she is being followed by Jack Stalker, the main character in the Never After series. Filomena is thrown into a world of fairytales, magic and an epic battle between good and evil. Filomena is a brave, clever, witty protagonist who grows in wisdom and strength throughout the story. Never After is imaginative, fast moving and fun, and often laugh-out-loud funny. I liked the interesting characters, non-stop action, and how it moves between the modern and fairy-tale worlds. It is a great addition to the middle grade fantasy genre.

The Adventure Sucked Me Into The Whirlpool of Fantasy & Fairytales

This is a fairytale fantasy adventure set in middle school. What I loved right away was that Filomena, out main character, really made me feel seen with the things that she felt throughout the book. Filomena showed some great bravery throughout the book and it really struck me how amazing it really was to read about such a heroine. I loved meeting the new characters throughout the book. Each character had their own personality, which was fun to read and learn about. The writing style was easy to follow because there was a course of action following the whole story throughout the book. Overall, Filomena and her new friends hardly had a chance to catch their breath because so much was happening. The adventure, fantasy and fairytale really took over in the book. Though the adventure was definitely my favorite part of the book! The book cover is also quite beautiful, goes along with the plot, and really catches your attention! Loved it! Adorable!!!
