A hidden past. A Hessian forest. Witches who don't stay in stories. Liberty Frye must uncover the truth -- before the witches do.

Liberty Frye isn't used to family vacations -- her parents have never taken one -- so when they suddenly whisk her to a small German village, old family secrets begin to surface. Strange coincidences, half-told stories, and a pair of watchful relatives point Libby toward a truth her family has kept hidden for years -- one that ties her to witches, long-ago choices, and the storybook woods that shaped the Brothers Grimm.

With her best friend Ginny and a few unlikely allies, Libby steps into a world where fairy-tale magic still lingers at the edges of everyday life. As the pieces of her past fall into place, she'll need quick thinking, real courage, and loyal friends to face a powerful enemy -- before it's too late.

Full of twists, humor, and heart, Liberty Frye and the Witches of Hessen is a fast-paced middle-grade adventure perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, The Land of Stories, and A Wrinkle in Time -- set amid the fairy-tale forests of Hesse, the same region where the Brothers Grimm grew up.
