The Book of Fatal Errors

Rufus doesn’t just make mistakes—he makes Fatal Errors. Shy and awkward, he feels trapped by his teasing classmates and their constant laughter. But now it’s summer. Rufus is free. He roams the wildlands of his grandfather’s mysterious property across town, blissfully unaware of the danger up ahead.

And there is much danger. Rufus and his snooty cousin, Abigail, soon become entangled in the elusive world of the feylings, mischievous immortal creatures desperate to find their way home. In helping the feylings, Rufus tumbles down a dark path brimming with age-old secrets and difficult truths. Any move he makes might be his final fatal error—or perhaps, his most spectacular beginning.

Award-winning author Dashka Slater spins a tale of friendship, family, magic, and eternal life in this evocative and witty middle-grade fantasy
