What to expect
Have you ever wanted to experience magic? Have you ever wanted to get away from everyone and everything? Do you enjoy baked goods? Then come stay at the Between-Worlds B&B!
Margo is bored. It’s the summer before she graduates, she has no idea where her life is going and she’s really not enjoying her job as a lifeguard (she loves swimming, but all she gets to do is watch people swim).
When Margo gets locked out one evening, she checks into a lovely B&B she’s never noticed. Rooms are available for £24.50 (the exact amount in her bank account!) and she’s greeted by surprisingly handsome receptionist, Finn. The rooms are cosy, there’s even a grand library and a huge swimming pool, and the breakfast smells amazing.
But Margo soon suspects that it’s all too perfect, and that magic is in the air. She’s fairly sure that one of the other guests is a fairy princess, for one thing. Finn soon tells Margo that this is a B&B for magical beings. But Margo is pretty sure she doesn’t have a magical bone in her body, so what is she doing there?
