Wizards, Heists, and Other Ways to Steal a Spellbook
Hornsboggle & Dodge Book 2
Katherine and Imogene didn’t mean to rewrite destiny… honestly.
When Katherine Hornsboggle and Imogene Dodge Chrysler are hired to steal a magical book, it seems like a simple enough task. After all, they have decades of heisting experience. What could possibly go wrong?
Quite a lot, it turns out.
The moment they find the book, a gang of deadly magical criminals tries to take it from them. Katherine and Imogene grab it and run for their lives, with only their wits, a magical map, and a team of interdimensional cats to keep them safe…
Desperate to escape, Katherine and Imogene dive into the Forbidden Wood in search of an old wizard friend with a few secrets up his sleeve. Rumors say that the book can bend fate itself. Can he help them unlock its true power?
Will Katherine and Imogene and their ragtag crew of loveable strays get away with their most daring heist yet, and stop destiny from falling into the wrong hands?
Full of found family and chatty magical creatures, this delightful, bookish fantasy about finding your own way in the world will captivate fans of TJ Klune and Sarah Beth Durst.
