When Rose and her siblings walked into the kitchen, they found Mrs. Carlson waiting for them, shaking her fist in the air. “Where have you children been?”

“You fell asleep, Mrs. Carlson, so we went to lunch,” said Sage.

Mrs. Carlson squinted evilly at Sage. “Fair enough,” she growled. “But I shan’t let you out of my sight again. Your parents called, and I had to make up a lie that you were all taking a shower!”

“At the same time?” Ty asked.

“Well, that’s where the lie fell apart, see? The point is, I’m not letting any of you out of my sight.” She was shaking her fists so furiously that the rollers were coming out of her blond hair.

Rose winked at Ty and opened the door to the library, where the three huddled over the book on its wooden podium. Sage flipped the pages as Rose and Ty searched for something that could work as an antidote to madness, or a magical eraser.

“Here,” said Ty. “This one.”

Rose read the recipe aloud:
