Fifth Grade

Nora knew starting fifth grade at a new school would be complicated, but she didn't expect to discover a Secret Wing for students who see supernatural creatures. Dealing with Pukwudgies, evil faeries, and nightmare creatures from local legends doesn't help Nora fit in with the popular crowd, but it sure makes school exciting. With the help of her best friend, Liam, and a magical cat who lives in the Secret Wing's library, Nora unravels the mysteries that have been plaguing her small Massachusetts town for years.
