Welcome to
A.B. Grant's Magical Adventures
Coming Soon
Scroll of the Gargoyle;
The Candy Box
Where magick whispers-
heritage answers.
Haley Harper Price faces a dreadful summer.
No eleventh birthday party,
an impossible-to-please mother,
developers circling her home,
and now, her father is ill.
She’s losing everything she loves.
Then, in the cellar, she
discovers a bejeweled gargoyle with a hidden scroll pointing to a Romani legacy
that could save Grudge Hollow,
win her mother’s favor—even cure her father.
But to find it, Haley must jaunt to Iceland with her brother, Stevo, and her best friend, Lúile,
in search of a mysterious crystal candy box. Danger, delight, and wild imagination await as
tricksters trap them, caves sing, and geysers launch them high into magickal realms.
And when a vengeful warlock steals the box and vanishes into his underground laboratory,
Haley and her friends have little chance of finding it—and even less of making it out alive.
Their only hope lie with the Throwaways—strange, discarded hybrimorphs
who know the warlock’s labyrinth better than anyone.

About A.B.
A.B. Grant writes fantastical adventures for teens and tweens—books that grab you from the first page and won’t let go. Building worlds of magick, heart, and mystery, she creates places where readers can escape, explore, and belong.
Fueled by imagination, belly laughs, and possibly ghosts, she's also been known to sing to her houseplants, apologize to spiders before relocating them, and hold whispered negotiations with squirrels who refuse to follow the peanut distribution schedule.
She loves limericks, laughter, and wildflowers, and believes the best stories stay in your heart forever.
