Scroll of the Gargoyle;
The Candy Box
Where magick whispers-
heritage answers.
Haley Harper Price faces a dreadful summer.
No eleventh birthday party,
a mother who hates her,
developers circling the family estate,
and now, her father’s illness.
She’s about to lose everything she loves.
But in a crate in the cellar,
she finds a bejeweled gargoyle and a scroll
that tells of a Romani legacy
that could save Grudge Hollow,
win her mother’s favor—even cure her father.
With her brother, Stevo, and best friend, Lúile, Haley jaunts to Iceland to find a candy box that will
determine destiny for them all. Danger, delight, and wild imagination await them on their journey,
where tricksters trap them, caves sing, and geysers launch them high into magickal realms.
When the box is stolen by a vengeful warlock who would use them for experiments,
will they have the courage to follow the lunatic into his underground laboratory?
With the help of a band of Throwaways, they might…
"A briskly magical story of hidden legacies, lore, enchanted objects, and Roma traditions. The menagerie of otherworldly, hybrid creatures will keep readers on their toes. Grant's prose is up-tempo, warm, and engaging–
and delivers on promises."

“A tantalizing book from the voice of a writer who knows how to tell a story.

Step into the worldI've created just for you
As an author who feels it’s just as important to escape the real world as it is to deal with it,

About A.B.
A.B. Grant writes fantastical adventures for teens and tweens—books that grab you from the first page and won’t let go. Building worlds of magick, heart, and mystery, she creates places where readers can escape, explore, and belong.
Fueled by imagination, belly laughs, and possibly ghosts, she's also been known to sing to her houseplants, apologize to spiders before relocating them, and hold whispered negotiations with squirrels who refuse to follow the peanut distribution schedule.
She loves limericks, laughter, and wildflowers, and believes the best stories stay in your heart forever.
