  <default-description>Neef, the official Changeling of Central Park, has survived a life-threatening quest, but that&#8217;s nothing compared to her first experiences at Changeling school. At Miss Van Loon&#8217;s, she meets her counterparts from all over Manhattan, learns the basics of diplomacy, and, of course, gets in trouble. This time Neef must recover the Magic Mirror, or else New York Harbor&#8217;s Mermaid Queen will turn all of the city&#8217;s fresh water to salt&#8212;and everything will die.</default-description>

But I enjoy the random references to all kinds of things, like &quot;It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.&quot; It's kind of like the author was sharing private jokes with the reader that the characters didn't know about. ]]></body>
