It’s Chrismastime and Blair and Serena are best friends again and up to their old tricks–partying hard and breaking hearts from Park Avenue to the Caribbean. Blair’s mom and Cyrus are having their honeymoon in Salt Key. And when school lets out for the holiday, Blair, Serena, Aaron, and company head down there to blow off steam after their midterm exams. In between Pina Coladas and topless sunbathing, Blair and Serena plot revenge on super-jerk Chuck Bass.

Tami, with her sister, Wonu, has to spend her school vacation in the village, and she is not pleased! Compared to Lagos, the village is quiet and boring, nothing exciting could possibly happen there.

She is wrong.

The dark hut at the back of their grandmother’s house has always fascinated Tami. She is about to discover, within its walls, a riddle waiting to be solved… a riddle tied to a mysterious mirror. Racing against time, Tami must solve this riddle or lose someone she holds dear forever.

Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares. Oomza University has wronged the Meduse, and Binti’s stellar travel will bring her within their deadly reach.
