Warrior Princess
May Bird returns to the Ever After for a ghostly showdown in the conclusion to an otherworldly trilogy from Jodi Lynn Anderson.
Three years after May Bird found her way home from the Ever After, she is still quiet and introspective, though she's gained an awkward fame in her hometown of Briery Swamp. But even though May Bird and Somber Kitty were happy to reunite with her mother, May is still haunted by thoughts of the friends she left behind. And then one night, through a most unexpected means, the Ever After is once again more than a memory...
But what May Bird discovers is devastating: the Ever After seems deserted, and evil Bo Cleevil is close to making his reign supreme. Now, with her friends missing and enemies all around her, May must find her way to the edge of the universe, where night swallows the stars, where allies are few and often have bad breath, where endings can also be beginnings, and where the truest hero lurks in the unlikeliest of souls. And Bo Cleevil's got one last trick up his sleeve – one that no one on Earth is ready for.
With the worlds of the living and the dead in the balance, will May find the courage to become the warrior she was always meant to be?

Quiet, quirky May Bird discovers a ghostly dimension in this otherworldly adventure from Jodi Lynn Anderson.
Meet May Bird: a very shy, very precocious young girl who wants nothing more than to live in a world where she's accepted and loved. One day while walking in the woods she finds that world – or falls into it, really. Through a pond, May enters the Ever After, a world of ghosts.
Here, towns glow blue beneath zipping stars and the people – are they really people? – walk through walls. Here, the Book of the Dead holds the answers to everything in the universe. And here, if May is discovered, the horrifyingly evil Bo Cleevil will turn her into nothing. May Bird must get out. Fast.
As May journeys through fantastic lands, she gathers an unusual group of new friends who join together to overcome Bo Cleevil and find the way back home.
