Freaks, geeks, and … goblins? Nothing unexpected ever happens in the podunk town of Simpleton, Kentucky. So when Apple Jenkins manages to raise dark creatures on the eve of her high school reunion, she can’t help but wonder: does she even belong?

With her friends, a little time magic, and the ever-watchful eye of the Fates, Apple might just find the courage to face her worst fears — her ex-bestie and the quarterback, obviously. Goblins, she can handle.

But ghosts? An unresolved crush? And what of the local music scene, with its ne’er-do-wells and ghouls? Apple must learn to brave not just her present, but her past as well … and uncover an ancient, forgotten magic that threatens to haunt her future.
