Award-winning author Dashka Slater spins a tale of friendship, magic,
and eternal life in The Book of Fatal Errors, an evocative and witty
middle-grade fantasy.
Rufus doesn't just make mistakes - he makes fatal errors. Clumsy and
awkward, he feels entrapped by his teasing classmates and their constant
laughter. But now it is summer. Rufus is free. He roams the wildlands of
his grandfather's mysterious homestead, blissfully unaware of the danger
up ahead.
And there is much danger. Rufus and his snooty cousin Abigail soon
become entangled in the tantalizing world of the feylings, mischievous
fairly-like creatures desperate to find their way home. In helping the
feylings, Rufus tumbles down a dark path rich with age-old secrets and
difficult truths. Any move he makes might be his final fatal error.
Or perhaps, his most spectacular beginning.
