A new cozy young adult fantasy from Sarah Beth Durst set in Vermont!! I’ve mentioned before that I don’t read much YA nowadays, but I do make exceptions for certain authors who I know produce reliably good quality stories no matter the genre or age category and Sarah Beth Durst is one of those authors. This sounds like a sweet, magical story that follows a girl helping her aunt fix up her decrepit inn, which may be hiding some magical secrets. The Faraway Inn will be released April 7, 2026.
After a devastating heartbreak, a teen girl decides to spend her summer helping her eccentric great aunt manage her quaint Vermont inn—but this fixer-upper is hiding a magical secret—in this cozy and irresistable new fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop.
When sixteen-year-old Calisa arrives at her great-aunt’s B and B for the summer, she’s shocked to find a rundown inn rather than the cozy bed-and-breakfast she was expecting. Grumpy and eccentric, Auntie Zee is determined to keep anyone from messing with her beloved inn . . . even though she clearly needs the help.
To convince her great-aunt to keep her around, Calisa sets to work fixing up the inn, enlisting extra help from the groundskeeper’s (handsome) son. But the longer she stays, the surer she is that there’s something strange about the B and B—and its residents. Something almost . . . otherworldly.
The inn is hiding a magical secret—but secrets are like doors. Once Calisa opens this one, she won’t be able to go back . . .
