Marigold Emberbright is trying-really, truly trying-not to cause magical disasters before breakfast. But when a temperamental pepper-dragon shaker explodes in glittery chaos, her sneeze accidentally summons Fizzwhistle: a spark-happy chaos spirit with a button-vest, a contract she never signed, and a talent for turning kitchens into catastrophe zones.
Now Marigold is stuck with three unpredictable magical boons, each more troublesome than the last. Mushrooms start marching. The pantry develops opinions. And something ancient beneath the world begins to stir-something the Whisperwood remembers, the Vault fears, and Fizzwhistle refuses to talk about.
With her responsible older sister panicking, her parents away on magical errands, and a chaos spirit cheerfully making everything worse, Marigold must navigate enchanted mishaps, runaway magic, and a destiny she never asked for.
But buried beneath the mayhem is a spark she can’t ignore-one that might finally show her she’s more than the girl who causes trouble.
She might be the girl who can change everything.
Perfect for fans of Nevermoor, Witchlings, and Amari and the Night Brothers, this whimsical adventure blends humor, heart, and a dash of chaos in a world where even a sneeze can rewrite your fate.
