It isn’t easy to fit in, especially when the faeries start appearing to Kaye again. It isn’t easy, when everyone remembers her as the little girl who told stories about her imaginary friends – faeries she really remembers playing with, though no one else could see them. Kaye, meanwhile, just wants to fit in with her old friend Janet’s crowd. Her mother wants Kaye to do whatever she wants to do. Kaye’s grandmother wants the girl to go to school and prepare for a better life than her mother has. They end up moving back to her grandmother’s house in a decaying city on the New Jersey shore, and trying to start over. It’s a life many of us fantasize about (or did when we were younger), until another member of the band attempts to murder Kaye’s mom. It comes of growing up in the entourage of a rock band, taking care of her not-so-motherly mother, and working full-time at a Chinese restaurant instead of going to school.

God, I hate when this shit happens! Anyway, the first book ended ambiguously where some bullies take a picture of Greg himself and are waiting to see what comes of it. He was also a master of the dark arts and cursed the camera so it can’t be destroyed and will make bad things happen. It only takes the entire book for these idiots to decide maybe they should, I don’t know, stop fucking taking pictures! Apparently some mad scientist is responsible for the camera. When they take pictures with it, it shows bad things happening to people, and those bad things come true.
