Blurb:
THE GIRL IN THE RED HOOD has been looking for her mother
for six months, searching from the depths of New York’s subways to the heights
of its skyscrapers . .
.
THE PRINCE looks like he’s from another time entirely, or
maybe he’s just too good at his job at Ye Old Renaissance Faire . .
.
THE ACTRESS is lighting up Hollywood Boulevard with her
spellbinding and strikingly convincing portrayal of a famous fairy. Her name
may be big, but her secrets barely fit in one world . . .
Fifteen-year-old Crescenzo never would have believed his
father’s carvings were anything more than “stupid toys.” All he knows is a
boring life in an ordinary Virginia suburb, from which his mother and his best
friend have been missing for years. When his father disappears next, all
Crescenzo has left is his goofy neighbor, Pietro, who believes he’s really
Peter Pan and that Crescenzo is the son of Pinocchio. What’s more: Pietro
insists that they can find their loved ones by looking to the strange
collection of wooden figurines Crescenzo’s father left
behind.
With Pietro’s help, Crescenzo sets off on an adventure to
unite the real life counterparts to his figurines. It’s enough of a shock that
they’re actually real, but the night he meets the Girl in the Red Hood, dark
truths burst from the past. Suddenly, Crescenzo is tangled in a nightmare where
magic mirrors and evil queens rule, and where everyone he loves is running out
of time.
When Jacob Devlin was four years old, he would lounge
around in Batman pajamas and make semi-autobiographical picture books about an
adventurous python named Jake the Snake. Eventually, he traded his favorite
blue crayon for a black pen, and he never put it down. When not reading or
writing, Jacob loves practicing his Italian, watching stand-up comedy, going
deaf at rock concerts, and geeking out at comic book conventions. He does most
of these things in southern
Arizona.

Pino scowled over his mug, then let his mouth curve into a
smile. The old Pietro was coming back to the surface. “Anyway, you’ll go? Look
for my wife and your family?”
With a sigh, Pietro rubbed his face so hard his eyelids
drooped. “Would you come with
me?”
Pino wiggled his thumb: click, click, click, click. “Do
you not hear my joints
crackling?”
“Still?” Pietro rested his elbows on his knees. “What’s
happening to you?”
Pino lowered his voice. “My guess is there’s some real
dark stuff goin’ on back home. After all, we’re not supposed to be here, and I
was once a . . . Well, you know. I’m afraid I won’t get very far out the door,
if I can even move anymore in a week.”
Pietro drummed on his lap, shooting air through his teeth
as he contemplated. “Fine. I’ll go. But I have a question. When do we tell
Crescenzo who we really
are?”
“I trust you’ll figure it out, Peter.” Pino winked. “After
all, you were the boy who learned how to fly.”
