Legend of the Storm Sneezer is returning 4.6.26! It's not every night your best friend helps commit you to an asylum. (Imaginary best friend, mind you.) But Rose Skylar is no stranger to unusual nights. The night she was born, she sneezed a mischievous, magical storm cloud (Stormy) that has been with her ever since. Then there was the night her dad almost killed her to get rid of Stormy. (Hard one to forget.) And one night, Rose writes a letter to her future self that changes everything. (And I mean everything.) Marek takes her to the legendary Heartstone Asylum. It's a nightmare come true, and Rose loves every bit of it: the magical rooms, an ugly-cute gargoyle stalking her every move, the haunted forest whose trees have mysteriously turned to stone. But there is a dangerous secret at the heart of Heartstone, and when Rose and Marek discover a cemetery in the woods, they dig up a mystery that could be their own grave. (Sharing a grave is nonnegotiable. Best friends forever means scooch your butt over in that casket.) From the living or the undead (I don't discriminate against the differently animated), Rose will do anything to protect her new home. Heartstone is the first place she's ever felt...safe. No one wants to get rid of her storm cloud—they want to save it. She learns that her magic isn't unstable—she's autistic. And her new family wants her just the way she is. But Heartstone isn't the only one with secrets. There is something in Rose's past that only her future can fix, and saving Heartstone Asylum and everyone she loves could make her worst fear come true: Being sent back to her dad. A darkly whimsical tale of horror, humor, and healing.
