Synopsis: Who's got time for homework when your problems involve evil sorcerers? Wanda should be studying for a quiz, avoiding the bullies at her new school and living a normal tweenage life. But, she is called upon once more to be a savior of the fairies, a protector of the fey, a Crystal Keeper. Bees are dying, fairies are missing and nobody knows why.

Wanda and her new friend, Edina, visit a crystal store to search for clues. They read about the Green Man, a forest king who Wanda thinks could be the key to solving the mystery. But, when a unicorn appears in her bedroom, the mystery just seems to deepen. Perhaps by asking the right questions, she can find the answer to the crisis.

Wanda has to face Balkazaar in a final battle of wits to save the fairies. But when the choice comes, she must choose between her friend Edina or the fairies. Together, they work together as friends to defeat Balkazaar. But Edina pays the final price by being kidnapped by the Dark Sorcerer, leaving Wanda to have to search for her in the next book.
