Magic, Mead, and Monsters: Emerald's Song (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218162566)

13-year-old Melissa never fit in with her peers-little did she know there's a particular reason.

The skateboard-riding, D&D playing young lady lives life on her own terms. But middle school can be cruel to anyone outside the norm. And nerdy and sporty Melissa certainly isn't immune to it. Her talent for being unique earns her ridicule and labeled an outcast.

So with her 14th birthday lingering on the horizon, she has a change of heart... she tries to be like everybody else.

Except as summer rolls around-and with her plan to fit in failing miserably-two strange creatures visit her. And they tell her she's different... for a reason. She must leave her safe world and everything she knows and loves behind to save a world she doesn't remember. But how can she save a magical realm when she doesn't even believe in herself?
