In the sequel to The Mariposa Club, devoted Maui, fabulous Trini, and Goth-boy Liberace discover that the miedo and drama of life as a senior in high school is never-ending. The cure: friendship. But the bonds between the trio are tested; Sebastián, the handsome son of a wealthy developer crushes on Maui’s eye—and the attraction is mutual but oh-so-complicated; Trini must go back to living with her parents, which means dressing as a girl is no longer allowed; and Lib has to decide his future after graduation, one that could take him far away from Caliente Valley High and friends he’s known for years. But before caps and gowns can be donned a different, crucial event is fast coming. Prom. And this new Fierce Foursome wants to make a statement about acceptance and diversity. Which means one of our activists will be wearing a gown at prom. Chic Manifique! Maybe. Hopefully, he’ll still have a strong arm—and friends—to lean on when wearing matching heels.

Their excitement fades, however, when they find themselves under the charge of several peculiar new teachers, in particular an excruciatingly energetic Director of Performing Arts. But they’ll soon be worrying about more than homework and musical auditions as people start disappearing in Giggleswick one by one. These mysterious happenings prompt Chief Justice Kennedy Kreville to launch an all-out manhunt for a kidnapper, but with very few clues, almost everyone comes under suspicion, and finger-pointing abounds. Injecting the peaceful little island with a heavy dose of fear, Kreville soon has all of Giggleswick under his spell, and it’s not long before he’s reaching for his gavel. In fact, there’s one person he suspects more than any other, but Elliot’s sure he’s way off the mark, and it’ll be up to him to prove Kreville wrong before anyone else disappears ...

But once the Mariposa Club is formed, they will not only have a place where they belong and that is all their own, but it will be a place for future students who feel as displaced as they do

It’s a natural phenomenon -- a small country in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean hidden from the rest of the world by a circle of unnavigable fog.

Before they know it, the struggling Bisby family finds themselves on a tiny boat captained by a man who prefers a singing parrot to a compass, and they soon embark on a journey that no other seaman could make and live to tell about. In Giggleswick, Elliot and his parents find themselves mingling with a colorful set of locals the likes of which include an Irish-Arabian bagpiper, a man who thinks he’s a knight, and a woman who does her exercises on the roof in high-heels.At last, Elliot has found the happiness he’s been waiting for and a place to call his own, but what he doesn’t know, is that helping Giggleswick to remain hidden from the rest of the world may prove far more difficult and dangerous than he could have ever imagined ...Think you'll like Giggleswick?

When good King Alfred of the Bear Kingdom passes away, he leaves behind a powerful magic jewel, three young sons... and no guidance as to which of them should take the throne. Each of the bear princes has their own unique set of flaws, as well as a burning desire to see themselves upon throne, but none of them have yet to distinguish themselves as a leader. With no clear choice, they try to decide the next king through a number of interesting methods, each ending in failure. Finally, the princes decide that the only real solution is war. While they get busy preparing for battle, though, they fail to realize that they are only pawns in a much larger game of chess. There are others with their eyes on the gem King Alfred left behind, and they will stop at nothing to control its powers. Colliding in their greedy quests, their squabbling unleashes magical forces of both good and evil that throw the entire kingdom into chaos. Can the princes put aside their differences and come together for the good of their kingdom? Or will the forces of greed and selfishness undo everything their father worked so hard to build?
