BLURB
THE GIRL IN THE RED HOOD has been
looking for her mother for six months, searching from the depths of New York’s
subways to the heights of its skyscrapers . . .
THE PRINCE looks like he’s from
another time entirely, or maybe he’s just too good at his job at Ye Old
Renaissance Faire . . .
THE ACTRESS is lighting up
Hollywood Boulevard with her spellbinding and strikingly convincing portrayal
of a famous fairy. Her name may be big, but her secrets barely fit in one world
. . .
Fifteen-year-old Crescenzo never
would have believed his father’s carvings were anything more than “stupid
toys.” All he knows is a boring life in an ordinary Virginia suburb, from which
his mother and his best friend have been missing for years. When his father
disappears next, all Crescenzo has left is his goofy neighbor, Pietro, who
believes he’s really Peter Pan and that Crescenzo is the son of Pinocchio.
What’s more: Pietro insists that they can find their loved ones by looking to
the strange collection of wooden figurines Crescenzo’s father left behind.
With Pietro’s help, Crescenzo
sets off on an adventure to unite the real life counterparts to his figurines.
It’s enough of a shock that they’re actually real, but the night he meets the
Girl in the Red Hood, dark truths burst from the past. Suddenly, Crescenzo is
tangled in a nightmare where magic mirrors and evil queens rule, and where
everyone he loves is running out of time.
The #roadtripwithpeterpan has
begun! THE CARVER is a young adult fairy tale retelling that takes you on a
road trip with an adult Peter Pan as he and the children of some of your
favorite characters. Together, they must find out what happened to their
missing family members as secrets of the old world and new are revealed, with
only Pinocchio’s carvings to guide the way. You can get your copy of THE CARVER
by Jacob Devlin on Amazon and Barnes
& Noble.
“Welcome to Sirenetta’s Diner,
gentlemen. You boys ever dined here before?”
Liam cut
right to the chase. “Are you Mr. Bellamy?”
The man’s
face fell into a tight frown, but Crescenzo assumed by the figurine that the
frown was just his natural expression. “I am he. The Lord of the Diner.”
“Violet
sent us,” Crescenzo said.
“Mm. You
mean Heather, yes?”
“Sure?”
Crescenzo was still trying to figure out the rule on what he should be calling
the Old World people. He supposed Pietro would forever be Pietro to him and he
understood why he needed the new name, but he didn’t feel that somebody like
Violet, who wasn’t a part of any story Crescenzo had heard before, needed an
alias.
Mr.
Bellamy plopped two brunch menus in front of Liam and Crescenzo and poured them
each a cup of coffee, to Crescenzo’s dismay. Then the old man leaned over the
counter and furrowed his eyebrows. In a tense whisper, he said, “Your presence
brings ruin to my happy New World life! Where you
go, trouble will surely follow. Now, what can I serve you this morning?”
Author Info
When
Jacob Devlin was four years old, he would lounge around in Batman pajamas and
make semi-autobiographical picture books about an adventurous python named Jake
the Snake. Eventually, he traded his favorite blue crayon for a black pen, and
he never put it down. When not reading or writing, Jacob loves practicing his
Italian, watching stand-up comedy, going deaf at rock concerts, and geeking out
at comic book conventions. He does most of these things in southern Arizona.
