It's 1987, and fairy tales are  about to become real...   Fairy tales are fun…until your life becomes one. Fifteen-year-old Frances Fye might be a little too obsessed with old books. But when grief and the loneliness of small-town life threaten to overwhelm her, stories carry her off to magical adventures. Then a new boy shows up at school—mysterious, magnetic, and shockingly similar to Fran’s favorite fictional hero. And when a wrong-number phone call leads to friendship with Trowbridge, an exiled bridge troll with sinister intentions, Fran’s world cracks wide open. Suddenly, the fairy tales she’s always loved aren’t just stories anymore. They’re real—and dangerous. Entangled in the deadly schemes of fae royalty, she has little choice but to depend on the most unlikely allies: her middle-aged English teacher who’s more than he seems, the secretly sensitive school rebel, and her less-than-charming ex. To escape the mythical lands she once longed for, Fran must face ...

NEW BOOK ALERT and other stuff... I am over-the-moon excited to share my new novel with you! This one is close to my heart, and I think you're going to love it!

And it comes out October 22, 2024 from Oliver Heber books!  Here's the official blurb:  An 1880’s coal town is no place for a girl with antlers.

The latest... Just popping in quick to let you know that I will be signing books at Cupboard Maker Books in Enola, PA (near Harrisburg) on Sunday, August 18 from 2 to 4! There will be other fantasy authors there, too, including Quenby Olson (author of Miss Percy's Guide to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons & its 2 fantastic sequels). Be sure to stop in if you're in the area. The book store is AMAZING. In other news... I have a new book coming this fall from Oliver Heber Books! It's a YA fantasy about an 1800's coal town girl and the moth-winged boy who wants to give her the world. It's got found family, first love, coming of age, and my usual touch of wonder and whimsy. Watch for more about The Springborn in the coming weeks, especially over on Instagram (@carrieannenoble7).  Stay cozy! 🦔 Carrie
