That's what happens to Calpurnia Crisp, a humble schoolteacher from Hillsborough. Agent Odell of Homeland Security is convinced Calpurnia was the victim of magic, and wants her to join him in his crusade against what he sees as a conspiracy undermining the country. Odell recruits her as an undercover asset to infiltrate the world of Courtney Crumrin, the mysterious teenager who left a trail of unexplained horrors in Hillsborough, and Courtney's younger brother Will, the strange boy who appeared out of nowhere. But as she penetrates the world of the Crumrins, Calpurnia begins to suspect the gap in her memories is due to her magic being erased. She must ultimately decide between the world of magic or helping the reactionary agent determined to eradicate it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTed Naifeh \u003c\/b\u003efirst caught the attention of the independent comics scene in 1999 as the artist for \u003ci\u003eGloomcookie\u003c\/i\u003e, the goth romance comic he co-created with beloved author Serena Valentino. After a successful run, Ted struck out on his own, writing and drawing \u003ci\u003eCourtney Crumrin and the Night Things\u003c\/i\u003e, a spooky children's fantasy series about a grumpy little girl and her adventures with her Warlock uncle. Nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Limited Series, \u003ci\u003eCourtney Crumrin's success\u003c\/i\u003e paved the way for \u003ci\u003ePolly and the Pirates\u003c\/i\u003e, another tween adventure series, this time about a prim and proper girl who's secretly the daughter of a long-lost queen. Over the next few years, Ted wrote four volumes of \u003ci\u003eCourtney Crumrin\u003c\/i\u003e, plus a spin-off book about her uncle Aloysius. Since then, Ted has worked with many great co-creators. He illustrated \u003ci\u003eDeath Junior \u003c\/i\u003ewith famed screenwriter Gary Whitta. For world-renowned fantasy author Holly Black, he illustrated \u003ci\u003eTheGood Neighbor\u003c\/i\u003es, a three volume graphic novel series, published by Scholastic. And he teamed with Spider-Gwen co-creator Robbi Rodriguez for a sequel to \u003ci\u003ePolly and the Pirates\u003c\/i\u003e. In 2012, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of \u003ci\u003eCourtney Crumrin\u003c\/i\u003e, Ted wrote and illustrated the final two volumes of the series. He's since authored \u003ci\u003ePrincess Ugg\u003c\/i\u003e, the tale of a barbarian princess going to princess finishing school. And in a radical departure from his previous work, he created \u003ci\u003eNight's Dominion\u003c\/i\u003e, an experimental project blending high fantasy with superheroes. But unable to stay away, Ted returned to Courtney's world with \u003ci\u003eThe Crumrin Chronicles\u003c\/i\u003e, a new three-volume series in the eponymous heroine's magical world. Ted lives in San Francisco, where he enjoys the dreary weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 25, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50544450306271,"sku":"9781637150412","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/E4IgMCWrIF9781637150412.webp?v=1783616135","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-crumrin-chronicles-vol-2-the-lost-and-the-lonely-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
