Lisa, Kristin, Samantha, and Meagan, four college freshmen whoosh south on their way to the sunny beaches of Florida for Spring Break Vacation. But Meagan's shortcut takes them off the map. Hopelessly lost on the back roads of Georgia, they stop at an old mansion for directions. A kindly old man greets them and invites them to look at his special garden. Enchanted, the four girls wander into the wrong part of the garden and are transported to another universe, a place where trees walk, talk -- and wage war! Meagan's friends are kidnapped by the sinister Hemlocks and held captive in a swamp. There they will slowly be dissolved and devoured unless Meagan can save them. With the help of the noble Broadleaf Army, Meagan attempts a rescue, but will she understand the power of the forget-me-not flower in time? Or will she too slowly sink beneath the festering waters of the Dreadmire?

About the Author: Wayne Thomas Batson is a bestselling author of young adult fantasy and adventure novels. He's sold half a million books and counting, including the bestselling Door Within Trilogy. If you're a fan of Batson's fiction, you'll love this new epic fantasy tale of sacrifice, courage, and acceptance.

About Batson's Short Fiction: "I wrote these stories for my students (Batson has taught middle school Reading & English for 22 years) long before the novels. I needed good, high interest stories to supplement the curriculum, so I wrote my own. Little did I expect that students would become so fond of the stories. I began to infuse each tale with cues for reading comprehension strategies (predicting, inferring, connecting, etc.), literary elements (plot, character, setting, etc.), and writing techniques (the 6+1 traits, figures of speech, suspense tactics, etc)... all to allow dozens of "teachable moments" in each story. For middle or high school teachers who purchase these short stories, feel free to print a class set for your kids. Enjoy!" --Wayne Thomas Batson
