Book 2 in the Casey Grimes series-at a monster-hunting academy where the enemy doesn't have claws.
Saving the day didn't make Casey Grimes safer.
He survived the monsters. Barely.
Now he's officially enrolled at Trickery School-America's premier monster-control academy, hidden deep in Sylvan Woods.
This should be the good part. The campus is breathtaking. The friendships are real. And the classes? Completely wild-a little too wild, even, for a place with homework.
But Land Creature Defense and Extreme Climbing aren't what worry Casey most.
Someone is watching him.
Not a Bog Creep or a Hyena Toad. A secret enemy. Clever. Patient. More dangerous than any monster he's faced.
This adversary doesn't roar or bite. They plan. They wait. And they don't miss.
Magic is back on the curriculum after a hundred-year ban-and everyone knows Casey is the reason. Invisibility never prepared him for this kind of spotlight.
With his sister Gloria and their friends, Casey must survive dangerous training, unravel buried secrets, and discover why he's being targeted-before the shadow enemy makes their move.
Because this isn't just about passing classes. It's about staying alive.
The monsters are smarter.
The secrets are deadlier.
And class is officially in session.
A favorite for family read-alouds and classrooms-especially for reluctant readers who usually think they don't like reading. For kids ages 8-14. The wit of Percy Jackson meets the creature world of Fablehaven. Over 250,000 copies sold worldwide.
