And what secrets lie with the gruesome Giant in the town pub?When Leena shows up to the not-at-all-official town meeting organized by her mother to discuss the recent events that have turned New Elphame on its head, she isn't thinking about magical doors or strange happenings. All she can think about is how for one night she wants to be a normal teenage girl—possibly one who gets kissed by her hunky football star boyfriend. As she stares at her reflection in a broken mirror, she decides that she can be someone different. But Leena has no idea what surprises the night will hold for her. Will she get her first kiss? Will someone dare to cross through the mysterious door to discover what really lays beyond? And what secrets lie with the gruesome Giant in the town pub?The second installment in the "Tales from Seelie High" series of short stories continues the adventure began by Kira Nichols in "New Girl." It also includes three shorter tales involving characters from New Elphame and the world beyond the door: two short scenes that depict what happened when the door was opened in "New Girl" and an interview with Leena, conducted by a Seelie High student reporter.
