“. . . much more than a mere checklist of superstitions, Haphaven is sure to please fans of unique fantasies.” —Foreword Reviews
How far would you go to change your luck? For superstitious teen Alex Mills, it’s straight into the land of superstition itself. One part fantasy, one part coming-of-age adventure, Haphaven takes readers through the rainbow on a quest to right unlucky wrongs.
Now in a new deluxe hardcover with never-before-seen bonus content!
Ever-superstitious Alex Mills will do anything to avoid a jinx. Picking up pennies, knocking on wood, collecting rabbit’s feet . . . you name it. That is, until she steps on a crack and it actually does break her mother’s back. To save her mom, Alex must follow Hubbub Caskside, a trusty leprechaun, on a journey through the end of a rainbow to Haphaven, the world where all of Earth’s superstitions draw their power. All she needs is a rabbit’s foot to save her mom, but she soon discovers the lucky article won’t be so easy to retrieve. Not only is the rabbit’s foot guarded by Haphaven’s most formidable creature, the Jinx, there’s also a forest full of trees that knock back if you don’t knock on wood, people named Penny who do not like to be picked up, and a particularly vindictive black cat who will not be crossed. As Alex finds herself desperately searching for a way to save her mom, she learns of a mysterious connection between her family’s fate and the rulers of Haphaven. With her mother’s life on the line and her own fate at stake, Alex must find the strength within herself to unlock the mystery and take back control of the superstitions that have controlled her life . . . even if it means crossing the Black Cat once and for all.

Norm Harper is a Los Angeles–based writer. He likes to tell stories about silly talking animals, scary monsters, and characters learning that the world isn't remotely what they thought it was. He usually manages to fit in all three. His work includes the Eisner–nominated Rikki, the Ledger award-winning YA fantasy Haphaven, and the critically acclaimed ‘80s nostalgia meta-commentary adventure The Sequels.
