Wendy isn't as blind as a bat--there are bats that can see better than she can. Which is why, when her new glasses break, she's all too happy to wear the dorky pair of sunglasses she finds on the lawn. They seem to match her prescription, and that's all that matters if she's going to be able to make it through her school day.

But the glasses correct her vision too much. She begins to see things that no one else can see: cheerful corpses, frightening crones disguised as teenyboppers, and portals to other worlds--places where people are all too aware of the magical properties of her new shades . . . and will do anything to get them.

• Magical Glasses: When Wendy's glasses break, a strange pair of sunglasses seems like the perfect fix. Until she realizes they show her far more than she ever wanted to see.
• Secret Prince: That quiet new kid at school isn't just a boy--he's an elven prince on the run, and Wendy is the only one who can see the truth.
• Portal Fantasy: These aren't just sunglasses; they're a key. Soon Wendy is tumbling through portals into Kazaran Dahaani, a magical world of elves and dragons in desperate need of a hero.
• Witty Heroine: Wendy never asked to be a hero--she just wanted to survive high school without tripping over something. Now, her sharp wit might be the only thing that keeps her alive.
