Corinne La Mer isn't afraid of anything on her tropical island home. Not scorpions, not the boys who tease her, and certainly not jumbies. They're just tricksters made up by parents to frighten their children. Then one night, Corinne chases a rodent all the way into the forbidden forest, and shining yellow eyes follow her to the edge of the trees. They belong . . . to a jumbie.

Life on Corinne's island will never be the same again.

In three action-packed adventures drawn from Caribbean and West African folklore, Corinne La Mer discovers how real jumbies are and how dangerous they can be. Across the forbidden forest, deep beneath the waves, and through the eye of a hurricane, Corinne must rely on her wits, courage, and friendship, as well as her own secret magic, to protect her family and friends from chaos.

Read Corinne's heroic tales in:

• The Jumbies
• Rise of the Jumbies
• The Jumbie God's Revenge
