Lose yourself in a captivating story of magic and mischief following 12-year-old Zelie as she battles the evil that lurks a decade after Jack chopped down the beanstalk.Jack says magic is illegal and dangerous but he won't say why. Nobody will. All Zelie knows is that something happened long ago behind the twisted fence that changed everything. There are rumours of course: of giants, witches, and other made up things. But magic is real enough. Even Jack uses it sometimes. It can't be that bad, can it?Zelie can't tolerate the secrets any longer and decides to peek behind the twisted fence. In her quest for answers, she finds some magic beans just like Jack's, and a strange wand that only responds to unselfish spells. Exploring the lighter side of magic, she meets three gnomes who know the truth, and a boy called Sawyer who would rather believe the lies. Zelie becomes more and more daring and experimental with magic until people start getting hurt—including Jack—and the real evil is revealed. She realises too late that the rumours were true. And now she's put the whole village in danger. Chopping down a beanstalk won't be enough this time. But what can two children and a trio of gnomes do?

Excerpt from The Story of the Rear Column of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition It is worth while to expatiate a little upon this bold attempt of Mr. Stanley's to mislead people into believing that the evidence upon which he grounded his charge was obtained from a general inquiry into the matter made by him upon the Congo in 1888, and not upon the partien ar evidence of three witnesses obtained in 1890. For instance, he talks on this wise when in troducing to public notice his charges of November 8th, 1890 The sentence of my report with which Mr. Barttelot finds fault, and in which I censure the commander of the Rear Column, was written in August 1888, two days after I had met Mr. Bonny and the emaciated remnant of the Bear Column. Ou learning then the details of what had transpired during my absence, I wrote that the irresolution of the officers, the neglect of their promises, and their indifference to the written orders I gave them, had caused this woful collapse. You ask me to justify that censure, It will probably be the best way, in order to satisfy any legitimate interest in this question, to tell the story as I heard it at Yambuya, because in that way the public will better understand the shocking effect it had on me when, hastening to their relief, I was met by the following reve lations And here comes the point. You will find in the log of my book In Darkest Africa, ' even in its abridged form, that the men of the Rear Column came forward to present their complaints and much of the following information I obtained from Mr. Bonny, the Zanzibaris, the Arabs, and the Man yema. Then follow the statements which Stanley says were at that time made to him, the very first of them being the poisoning story, with which Mr. Bonny's most exciting state ment has since made us familiar. But alas! For the accu racy of Mr. Stanley, Bonny informs us that he told Stanley that tale on Sunday, October 26th, 1890, two years and two months after the date which Mr. Stanley fixes for its first recital. The fact is that Stanley deliberately endeavours to lead the public to believe that the evidence upon which he bases his foulest charges against the officers of the rear-guard was obtained by him in August 1888, when, beyond yea or nay.
