"Last fall, Cynthia Rothschild saved her best friend, Annie, (and everyone else in her high school) from the demon librarian, Mr. Gabriel. But now all that demon stuff is over, and Cyn is ready to have the best summer ever..."--Front flap.
Apprentice Mage Calen shocked everyone when he disappeared--apparently willingly--with Krelig, the incredibly powerful and evil mage intent on forcing the world to submit to his rule. Krelig believes Calen will be the key to his victory and is training him to unlock his untapped magical power. Calen is desperate to escape but knows he must first learn as much as he can if there is to be any hope of defeating Krelig. In Trelian the war is going badly. As the mages prepare for their own deadly battle, Calen must find a way back to Trelian to stop Krelig before it's too late--if those he left behind will forgive and trust him enough to let him come home at all.
Cynthia Rothschild has discovered that the new, very goodlooking librarian is a demon and it is up to her to save her best friend Anne, who has become a librarian monitor, and the rest of the school from the evil Mr. Gabriel.
Nearly all of Marilyn's friends have received their very own monsters, but Marilyn is still waiting for hers. She tries to be patient because monsters are supposed to find you, but finally Marilyn sets out in search of her monster. And it's a good thing, because Marilyn discovers her monster has gotten stuck in a tree while trying to reach her.
