Mihi and her friends are heading back to the Rainbow Realm—and this time, they have to save the princess.

Mihi, Reese, and Savannah thought their fairy tale realm adventures were over. But just as they were getting ready to go home, they learn that their first friend in the realm, Princess Pat, has disappeared on a quest of her own. Pat is traveling around the fairy world trying to gather enough magic to save the Rainbow Realm, but the journey is too dangerous, and Mihi, Reese, and Savannah are the only ones that can save her.

But as the girls chase after Princess Pat, they meet creatures and learn stories they've never heard of before, from cultures all over the world. And slowly, they realize Princess Pat might be the problem. Can they save the fairy tale world from their friend's destructive quest?

Newbery Medalist Tae Keller continues the fantasy adventures of Mihi Whan Park and her friends as they revisit the fairy tale realm to solve a giant problem.

After just barely surviving their last trip to the Rainbow Realm, Mihi Whan Park and her friends Reese and Savannah know that stepping back through the library refrigerator and into the magical fairy-tale world would be a dangerous choice. But when they discover that Mihi’s nemesis, Genevieve, has crossed through the fridge and into the Rainbow Realm herself, Mihi, Reese, and Savannah decide they must bring her home.

Through the refrigerator they go, and when they arrive, they find the world has changed. Atop an enormous beanstalk, a greedy giant wreaks havoc on the realm, and Genevieve isn’t the only one who needs saving. Now Mihi and her friends must team up with villains, concoct a magical disguise, and infiltrate a party full of the most fearsome creatures in all the land. What could possibly go wrong?

Newbery Medalist Tae Keller and illustrator Geraldine Rodríguez deliver a middle grade fantasy adventure in Mihi Ever After about three girls who fall into a fairy tale world. Should they stay forever, or find a way to escape?

Mihi Whan Park loves fairy tales. She wants to be a princess more than anything, but everyone tells her she’s not the princess type. Then Mihi gets her shot: When she and her new friends Savannah and Reese discover a portal to a fairy tale realm, they get a chance to learn how to be princesses! But the fairy tale world turns out not to be the wonderful place Mihi imagined. Soon, Savannah and Reese decide they’re ready to go home, and Mihi has to decide where her loyalties lie: With her friends and her future at home, or with her princess dreams?

"Hace mucho, mucho tiempo, cuando los tigres caminaban como los hombres…"

Cuando eran niñas, la abuela de Lily les contaba a ella y a su hermana Sam leyendas mágicas de su país natal, Corea, y a ella siempre le fascinó el cuento que hablaba de dos hermanas y un tigre. Cuando ella y su familia se mudan para cuidar de su abuela enferma, Lily comienza a tener visiones de un tigre mágico que parece venir directamente de los mismos cuentos que su abuela le contaba. Pero lo que Lily piensa que es sólo producto de su imaginación tiene que ver con un secreto de su familia. Hace mucho, mucho tiempo, su abuela robó algo que pertenecía a los tigres, y ahora ellos quieren que se lo devuelva. Entonces, uno de los tigres le ofrece un trato a Lily para devolverle la salud a su abuela, y Lily se siente tentada a aceptar. ¡Pero los tratos con los tigres nunca son lo que parecen! Con la ayuda de Sam y su nuevo amigo Ricky, Lily deberá hallar el coraje para enfrentarse a sí misma y al temible tigre.

Ganadora del prestigioso Premio Newbery Medal 2021, esta inspiradora novela demuestra el inmenso poder de las historias y la magia de la familia.

Die Magie des Geschichtenerzählens

Als Lily mit ihrer Familie zu ihrer Halmoni zieht, ihrer kranken Großmutter, taucht auf einmal ein Tiger auf. Ein sprechender Tiger. Ein magischer Tiger. Der Tiger aus Halmonis koreanischen Märchen. Nur Lily kann ihn sehen. Er behauptet, dass Halmoni vor vielen Jahren Geschichten gestohlen und sie in Gläser gesperrt hat. Und er schlägt Lily einen Handel vor: Wenn sie die Geschichten zurückholt, wird ihre Großmutter wieder gesund. Das Angebot klingt verlockend, doch wenn Lily eines weiß, dann, dass man magischen Tigern niemals trauen sollte …
