The Beastly Scheme: Casey Grimes #5

By AJ Vanderhorst

Book Overview

Book 5 in the Casey Grimes middle grade fantasy action adventure series-where monsters leave the woods.

The hunts are no longer hidden.

A new semester begins at Trickery School, and everyone's packing extra daggers. Classes are tougher. Rumors are spreading about a Jabberwocky scheme that's already in motion.

Casey, Gloria, and their friends have trained to fight monsters in forests, caves, and wilderness-places where normal people never look.

But when a creature appears somewhere it shouldn't-somewhere with witnesses, cameras, and consequences-Casey realizes the rules just changed.

The monsters aren't staying in the shadows.

They're stepping into the open.

And stopping the attacks isn't enough.

The world is watching. Questions are being asked. And the Sylvans' carefully guarded secret-that monsters are real and they've been fighting them all along-is about to unravel.

The battles are public.
The secret is spreading.
And this hunt won't let anyone stay the same.
