But to find it, Haley must jaunt to Iceland with her brother, Stevo, and her best friend, Lúile, in search of a mysterious crystal candy box.Danger, delight, and wild imagination await as tricksters trap them, caves sing, and geysers launch them high into magickal realms. And when a vengeful warlock steals the box and retreats to his underground laboratory, their only hope lies with the Throwaways - a band of strange, discarded hybrimorphs who know the warlock's deadly labyrinth better than anyone.Perfect for fans of Fablehaven, Nevermoor, and Serafina and the Black Cloak, The Candy Box is a fast-paced middle grade fantasy filled with Nordic folklore, spooky riddles, enchanted objects, unforgettable creatures, family secrets, and heart.This artfully illustrated book features premium cover art, full-page black-and-white plates, an intricate rendering of the otherworldly realm CiTioMiTh, and original, artist-created ornamentation throughout.
