Prologue: The night May Bird came home, the cold, bright stars looked down on Briery Swamp, and Briery Swamp--warm as a fuzzy mitten and full of sultry shadows--looked back. Part One (A May-Shaped Hole), Chapter One (May Bird Went to the Land of the Dead and All She Brought Me Was this Lousy T-Shirt): In an empty closet in the south bedroom, on the second floor of White Moss Manor, the clothes hangers jangled, as if they had been touched by a cool breeze. | |

| Book description |
At Hog Wallow Middle School, May Ellen Bird was always slightly invisible. Then she went on a long trip to the land of the dead, where ghost towns glowed blue in the dark dusk and spooky specters dwelled in cities on the Dead Sea. Back on Earth at last, May and her hairless cat, Somber Kitty, are now famous, their faces plastered across souvenirs and sportswear that read "May Bird Went to the Land of the Dead and All She Brought Me Was This Lousy T-Shirt." But, finally in the spotlight, May feels more than ever that she doesn't belong. Every night she sits by her bedroom window, gazing at the sky and dreaming of another place, wishing -- despite herself -- to be back among the ghosts, and then one night she gets her heart's desire in a way she would never have wished for. Only the Ever After isn't anything like the world May left behind three years ago. The spirits have vanished, and the towns -- once full of every manner of things that go bump in the night -- are deserted. Evil Bo Cleevil has made the Ever After as cold as his own frigid soul, and put up a bunch of tacky malls to boot. Now, with her friends missing and enemies all around her, May must find her way to the edge of the universe, where night swallows the stars, where allies are few and often have bad breath, where endings can also be beginnings, and where the truest hero lurks in the unlikeliest of souls. But Bo Cleevil's got one last trick up his sleeve -- one that no one on Earth is ready for. With the worlds of the living and the dead in the balance, will May's courage fail her one last time, or will she finally become the warrior she was always meant to be? | |

Three Years later...
May after escaping the Ever After with her melancholy Kitty feels oddly out of place back home pretending to be a girl she will never be, and unable to talk about her adventure without looks of amusement or worry from her listeners. In fact May secretly wants to return to her real friends back in the after life.
With Ever After slowly being over ruled by Dark Spirits and a Spirit known as Bo Cleevil ruling the land and preparing for the dead to walk the earth May is being sent messages and subconsciously she can feel the Ever After calling for her help, and eventually she finds herself floating in Ever After with Kitty one more time to finish what she was to afraid to do as her ten year old self.
This is probably going to be my favorite book series of the year, with its unique story line and humorous quirks May Bird makes for a fun and chilling read.
Warrior Princess takes us back to the world of Ever After, but its warmth that was once there has gone and a darkness shrouds the story like an anticipated storm that only proceeds to darken as the story continues. In the final chapters we are taken into Bo Cleevils secret world, where spirits have been captured for slavery and Bo lurks safely in his Dracula like castle, waiting to send May Bird over the bridge. But with the remaining free spirits both good and bad May has enough courage now to try free Ever After from the wicked spirits relentless grasp.
May Warrior Princess ends in a heartwarming slightly sad way that leaves the reader (or at least me) pleasantly satisfied and most certainly likely to read again and again!
