The Chronicles of Never After by Melissa de la Cruz is a middle-grade fantasy series that blends real life with fairy tales. The story follows Cara Jefferson-Cho, whose ordinary world is upended when Jack Stalker, a character from her favorite book series, arrives and urgently asks for her help. Together, they travel to Westphalia, a magical kingdom where fairy tales, myths, and legends are real. Cara learns that the kingdom is in danger, threatened by an evil queen determined to destroy the Fairy tribes. As the stakes rise, Cara must navigate this enchanted world and race against time to save both herself and the kingdom. The series is filled with adventure, magic, and the collision of reality with fantasy.
