OverviewAnnie is no longer a Nobody--she's a Time Stopper, one of the last of a magical line of humans who can control time. And even better, she's found a new home in the enchanted town of Aurora alongside all sorts of mystical creatures, and made three new best friends in Eva the dwarf, Bloom the last elf, and Jamie, who might be a troll. Then Annie wakes up to discover that the wicked Raiff has kidnapped her beloved new guardian Miss Cornelia. To save her, Annie has to win the trust of a riddle-loving dragon named Grady O'Grady, and search for the only weapon that can defeat the Raiff, a magical bow and arrow. But as Annie and her friends embark on this mission, she learns some shocking secrets about her past--and about Bloom's, too. The clock is ticking, and Annie will have to hurry. . . She must rely on her friends--and herself--more than ever if she hopes to save the day before the Raiff destroys Aurora and everything she holds dear.
