The sparkling, fast-paced sequel to Maggie & Abby’s Neverending Pillow Fort, which Captain Underpants creator Dav Pilkey called “a magical adventure!”
Nine long months after being shut out of the pillow fort network for good, Maggie and Abby finally have a whole new mission to focus on—and this one starts with a return to the infamous Camp Cantaloupe.
Abby needs this trip after a year of big, BIG changes back at home. But Abby knows that Maggie will never relax until they've solved the lingering puzzle left over from last the mystery of the trap door in Camp Cantaloupe’s historic Shipwreck Treehouse.
What neither of them expect, though, is for their first night at camp to go down in Cantaloupe history. And when that trap door busts open for the first time in centuries, Abby’s going to need the help of friends both old and new to help her uncover the truth—and get her back to Maggie's side before Camp Cantaloupe itself gets shut down...for good.
Readers will love exploring a whole new network of magic in this twisty sequel, perfect for fans of Caroline Carlson and Kathryn Littlewood.
Will Taylor (he/they) is an award-winning author, freelance marketing copywriter, and honeybee fan. He lives in the heart of Seattle surrounded by all the seagulls and not quite too many teacups, and when not writing can be found searching for the perfect bakery, talking to trees in parks, and completely losing his cool when he meets longhaired dachshunds. His books include The Language of Seabirds; The School for Wicked Witches series; Maggie & Abby’s Neverending Pillow Fort; Maggie & Abby and the Shipwreck Treehouse; Slimed (as Liam Gray); and Catch That Dog!
First of all, Goodreads needs to merge these different version of Will Taylor into one, as the app/site was ZERO help in telling me this book even existed. I stumbled across it in Chapters and am glad I did. I knew there had to be a sequel eventually, and trusted Goodreads to provide that info for me. They did not. 😑 So sort that out!!!
The book was hard to follow, the links and loops were incredibly complicated. I’m 27 and had a hard time, I can’t even imagine 12 year olds trying to make sense of it all. It kind of felt like Miss Peregrine’s, with the idea of “loops” but they didn’t travel in time.
It bothered me that Abby and Maggie spend pretty much the whole book apart, after that being such an issue in the first one. Like it sucks that they had to have these adventures totally separate. I felt bad for them.
The ending leaves it open for a third book, though it seems like it would be a lot different. I’m not sure how dragons do with pillow forts and old loops. But maybe it goes with all the old sea stuff? Either way I’ll keep an eye out for a potential third one!
So complicated! So awesome! I was squealing for most of the second half of the book from all the plot twists and exciting stuff that kept happening! The plot was so complicated, I’m still not sure what happened! So, middle grade, contemporary, about pillow forts, camp, and a bunch of other stuff I want to spoil for you. If any of that sounds good to you, READ IT.
