In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything
they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in
Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about
themselves might be wrong. In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz
and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward. For
Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the
World of Mages - and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his
relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family
crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his
newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's
smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure
what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had
enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back
to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most
emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It
tells secrets and answers questions, and lays ghosts to rest. Carry
On was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the
Wind Blows is an ending about endings. About catharsis and closure,
and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try
to define us.
Ketchvar III travels to Earth to inhabit the body of an average

Jackson's sisterJasmine, on the other hand, loves love. It just doesn't love her back. But luckily for her jackson is always waiting in the wings when she gets her heart broken, ready to cheer her up with a breakup list cataloging all her ex's faults.
Enter Liam Coquyt: senior, swim captain, hot, white boy - and the surprise lead in the fall musical. Even more surprising than how incredible Liam is on the stage is how much Jackson likes spending time with him off it. (Not that Jackson is falling for him. Liam is probably - no, definitely - straight). So why is Jackson crushed when Jasmine sets her sights on him? And why does the idea of eventually drafting a breakup list for Liam feel impossible?
