Description

The finale of an action-packed middle grade fantasy duology about a young Cuban American girl named Callie Martinez-Silva who discovers she’s one of the nine muses of Greek mythology. Six months after learning about her identity, she is ready for new adventures with the other junior muses. However, she first has to spend the summer in New York City with her family. During her stay, news breaks out that an unprecedented tenth muse has been awakened in Queens, placing Callie in the perfect position to help find her. With the Muse Headquarters relocating to New York due to a mold problem in London, Callie juggles her family obligations, arts camp, and her missions. Challenges arise when mysterious messages from spiders reveal an ancient injustice involving her campmate, Ari, forcing Callie and her friends to choose between following orders and trusting in fate.
