Charmless

Be careful what you wish for-adventure might just find you. Mariah Miller has always been the unlucky one. In her quiet village, she's known as a walking bad omen-an ordinary girl surrounded by six extraordinary brothers. All she wants is a summer that's a little less boring... and a little more magical. When a harmless dare in the library goes terribly wrong, Mariah and her three unlikely companions-a moody squire, a cheerful dreamer, and a bossy princess-find themselves lost in the mysterious Empty Lands, a realm straight out of legend. To return home, they must face the legendary Four Trials-each more dangerous (and bizarre) than the last. But the greatest challenge might be learning to trust each other before the cracks in the sky, and the shadow that follows them, tear their world apart.Full of humor, heart, and a dash of chaos, Charmless is a whimsical middle grade fantasy about finding courage, friendship, and a bit of magic in even the unluckiest of hearts. KJ Hansen is living proof that some who wander are in fact lost, but she wouldn't have it any other way! You can find her planning or daydreaming about the next adventure, either for herself or for her characters. She lives in Minnesota with three cats and a slightly out-of-control stack of books.
