Ondine

Dive into this wonderfully witty young adult series from author Ebony McKenna, set in the far off European country of Brugel. 15-year-old Ondine is struggling to fit in at Psychic Summercamp and doubts she possesses any of her family's magical abilities. She resolves to leave, determined to follow her own path and be a normal teenager. Whatever normal is in a place like Brugel. On the way home Ondine is shocked when her pet ferret Shambles starts talking - in a cheeky Scottish accent no less! He is in fact a young man trapped in a witch's curse. When he briefly transforms into his human self, Ondine is smitten. If only she can break the spell for good, Shambles can be handsomely human on a full-time basis. During the summer, these two misfits uncover a plot to assassinate a member of the royal family and discover a secret treasure that has remained hidden for decades. This attracts the attention of the arrogant Lord Vincent, and Ondine can't help being drawn in by his bad-boy charm. With so many demands on Ondine's attentions - and affections - normal has never seemed so far away. The Summer of Shambles is the first in the four-part ONDINE series. Fans of The Princess Bride will love this delightfully quirky fairytale.
