Magic was a myth to Noah—until a fairy’s dying plea drew him into The Dark Wood, where a beast of fangs and shadows stalks him and hungers for his very soul. Noah must decide: attempt a daring rescue and possibly fall prey to the forest’s ancient evils or turn his back and watch the fairy—and her magic—fade forever.
Noah and his friends face a big problem: they’re Betwixters, which means they can see Neevya, a fairy with a deadly secret. They want to help her, but they don’t know how, and time is running out. Things get even scarier when Grucker, the school bully, starts seeing Neevya too!
Being Betwixters is tough, especially with a shadow wolf from The Dark Wood on your heels. They barely escaped last time, and now the wolf’s howls haunt their nightmares. They must choose: do they brave the woods again to find the cure for Neevya, or do they stay safe at home while she fades away?
It’s up to Noah and his friends to face their fears and the shadow wolf one more time. If they get it wrong, they could lose Neevya and be trapped in The Dark Wood forever.
Fans of Harry Potter, The Goonies, and Percy Jackson will adore ‘Betwixters: Once Upon a Time,’ a captivating blend of magic, adventure, and friendship. Cantu’s imaginative tale promises an enchanting journey reminiscent of Harry Potter’s charm, The Goonies’ adventurous spirit, and Percy Jackson’s thrilling quests- an unforgettable adventure for readers of all ages.

Dreaming of an enlightened world
where all is kind and fair;
these are the wishes from my soul
for all mankind to share.
We must not wait for a better day,
nor distant place and time,
to wield the power in our hearts
and find pure love inside.
In learning who we truly are,
we shall escape all fear;
Let peace awaken from within,
and we’ll unite in cheer.
