Transported into a horror story and on the run from the evil Queen Cassandra, Gracie must save her best friend Walter and help the story's characters escape a devastating fate. Will Gracie find the courage to rewrite her own story or is it her destiny to be the villain? After learning the truth about her own fairy tale, twelve-year-old Gracie wants nothing more than to move past the terrible things author Gertrude Winters wrote about her and begin a new chapter in the real world. If only things were going as planned. On the run from the evil Queen Cassandra, the characters from Gracie's story have all been forced to start over, but some of them cannot forget Gracie's checkered past. Even worse, Gracie discovers that her story is still being written in Cassandra's magic book, the Vademecum. As long as Cassandra has the Vademecum, none of the characters are safe, including Gracie's mum and dad. In a desperate attempt to set things right, Gracie finds herself transported into another one of Gertrude's tales - but this one is a horror story. Can Gracie face her destiny and the wild beast roaming the night, to rewrite her own story?
