In Magikos, life is dictated by the Book of Fate, which predicts everything. Well, everything important, at least, like the birth of a royal Chosen One who will save the land. And, sure enough, Prince Marco is born on the appointed hour...and is soon followed by a twin sister, who did not merit a mention in the Book of Fate. Now thirteen, Prince Marco is hailed as the land's salvation, while it's clear to all that Princess Marabel is nobody special. If she tried to perform any great feats of bravery, she would most likely fall flat on her face. She won't be beloved by the people, travelling musicians won't regale crowds with the Ballad of Marabel the Great, and she certainly won't be able to unite a fractured kingdom.

But when Marco is kidnapped by an evil queen, Marabel is the first to run to the rescue. Outside of the castle walls for the first time, accompanied only by her best friend and one very smug unicorn, Marabel must forge her own path on a daring mission that sees the crew of rescuers facing off against fairies, trolls, giants, and even a dragon. Marabel will have to find a way to surmount all the obstacles in her path and defy the Book of Fate, or risk losing her brother--and her kingdom--forever.



Industry Reviews
"...a neat addition to any fantasy-fan's library."--Booklist
"...[a] funny and heartfelt fantasy tale."--B&N Kids Blog
"[A] series opener that pits fate against free will, touches on prejudice and patriarchy, and has fun with fairy tale tropes....offers food for thought on an array of valuable topics."--Publishers Weekly
"As with her other endeavors, Barrett ably gives the genre a good tweak and skewers traditional expectations... Funny and exciting, Marabel and the Book of Fate is a hit."--BookPage
"The tongue-in-cheek reinterpretation of contemporary politics adds a fresh layer to this story of palace intrigue and adventures in an enchanted land."--Horn Book
"This fantasy title empowers as much as it entertains...an engrossing, laugh-filled adventure."--SLJ
"Young readers will enjoy the modern day references, such as a video game called Impcraft and bracelets that accept phone calls, that are mixed with common fairy tale themes."--School Library Connection
