Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He defeated the villain, won the war, and even fell in love. So why is the Chosen One completely unable to get off the couch? Now that the world is saved, Simon is struggling to figure out what comes next. According to his best friend Penny, all he needs is a change of scenery to snap him out of his funk. Soon, Simon, Penny, and Baz find themselves packed into a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. But this is not just a relaxing vacation. Trouble has a way of finding them, and soon they are facing down dragons, vampires, and shotgun-wielding monsters. As they get hopelessly lost on the open road, they begin to wonder if they ever really knew where they were heading in the first place. This highly anticipated sequel explores what happens after the hero's journey ends and real life begins, serving up a perfect blend of magic, romance, and adventure.

Simon Snow might be the Chosen One, but he is arguably the worst one who has ever been chosen. Half the time his wand does not work, and the other half, he accidentally sets something on fire. His mentor is avoiding him, his girlfriend just dumped him, and there is a terrifying magic-eating monster running around wearing his exact face. To make matters worse, his roommate and lifelong nemesis, Baz, has not even bothered to show up for their final year at the Watford School of Magicks. Baz might be an evil vampire and a complete jerk, but Simon cannot stop obsessing over his disappearance. When Baz finally does return, the two enemies are forced to team up to uncover the dark secrets lurking within their magical school. This thrilling adventure is a brilliant mix of ghost story, mystery, and unexpected romance, packed with magic, monsters, and plenty of kissing.
