Books with author A. B. Brown

Take care what you wish for. You just might get it. Twelve-year-old Casey doesn't think life could get any more unfair. Plans for her special basketball tournament are tossed aside by her sister's wedding plans. She even has to be a bridesmaid now, with all the lace and silk and-oh, the horror! All she wants is an escape, but she never imagined she'd be swept away to a world of Mother Goose rhymes, fairy tales, stories of Arabian Nights, and oh, by the way, all but one fairy godmother has been kidnapped. Casey learns she's been summoned as the Fable Ranger to lead the search and rescue of the missing wish-makers. But she's not the hero they want. In the world of fairy tales, damsels aren't meant to swoop in and save the day. Now all Casey wants is to go home, but the veil between worlds is on lockdown. Taking fate into her own hands, she embarks on an airship flight to find the phoenix tears that can open her way home. Her journey would've gone as smooth as the perfect layup if it weren't for that pesky bounty the evil Dovetail has placed on her head. But if Casey fails, the Arabian Nights will disappear forever-and leave her trapped in a world unraveling one fairy tale at a time.
