Faced with a witch attack and penned in by giants, Evie and her fellow third-year Princess Cadets (Pennyroyal Academy and sequel) sneak out of their besieged school to retrieve a magic harp to neutralize the giants. The many characters and complicated backstory have become confusing, but fairy-tale predicaments and deeply felt family drama buoy the continuation of this lightly comic action-adventure series.
