The arrival of Federico Lampo and his travelling circus brings a new threat to Drabville when the children are kidnapped and transported to the grim world of the Conjuors' Realm.

Lord Aldor‚ assisted by Ringmaster Fredrico Lampo and the vicious Contessa Bombasta (Patroness of the Arts)‚ is plotting to conquer the fairy province of Mirth.

The children embark on a quest to warn the Queen of Mirth‚ encountering some fearsome obstacles‚ including the ferocious Grin Bandits and their tooth−extracting apparatus and being challenged in a life size game of Monopoly.

She meets a human boy named Xavier with a troubled past and soon they fall in love, defying the laws of Heaven and threatening the angels' mission.

But Alexander Reade, 157 years dead, with secrets darker than the lake surrounding Grange Hall, has a lifelike presence that draws Chloe more strongly than any ghost before.
