==Plot summary==

Kendra and Seth Sorenson are sent off by their parents to Grandma and Grandpa Sorenson's house for a couple of weeks while their parents go on a cruise set up by Grandma and Grandpa Larsen for their children and spouses after they died. When they get to the house, Grandpa Sorenson tells them that their grandmother is visiting their dying Great Aunt Eda and introduces them to Lena, the housekeeper, and Dale, who helps Grandpa Sorenson tend to the grounds. Once Seth and Kendra's parents are gone, Grandpa Sorenson sets up two rules, which are that they must keep out of the woods, and that they cannot go in the barn.
They visit their attic bedroom. Before he leaves, Grandpa Sorenson gives Kendra three keys so that they can try to figure out what each unlocks. Seth and Kendra go swimming the next day and Kendra brings out a mirror. When she leaves it out, hoards of butterflies, bumblebees, and hummingbirds flock over to look at it. When Kendra and Seth flip over the mirror, the obsessed critters flip it back over again.
Later, Kendra finds that the biggest key unlocks a box full of costume jewelry, and the tiniest key unlocks an armoire inside the dollhouse. In the armoire is a piece of chocolate shaped like a rosebud, and a small golden key, bigger than the key that opened the armoire, but smaller than the key that opened the jewelry box.
Meanwhile, Seth disobeyed the rules and was wandering the woods when he found a creepy old lady in an ivy shack. He ran back to the yard once she dared him to do something almost certainly dangerous. Back at the house, Kendra finds the Journal of Secrets with 3 keyholes, but none of the keys she has fits except the golden one she found in the doll house.
Seth shows Kendra a hidden pond with gazebos, a boardwalk, and a boathouse.
That night at dinner, Grandpa asks a rhetorical question, stating, "What do you suppose makes people so eager to break rules?" When Seth says that they weren't afraid of ticks, Grandpa tells them the real reason why they have to stay out of the woods: He really runs a preserve full of endangered, poisonous animals. Seth manages to worm out of trouble.
Since they have disobeyed his orders, they have to stay inside the house until their parents come to get them, but luckily, Kendra talks him out of it and they get partial punishment as a warning.
Soon after, Kendra figures out how to open the journal completely, and inside all she finds is a single phrase, 'drink the milk'. Deciding that she needed a guinea pig to test the milk that Dale claimed to be hazardous, Kendra dared Seth to drink the milk. When Kendra drinks the milk, the insects flying around suddenly turn into fairies. Grandpa explains that his property is not a preserve for endangered animals, but for magical creatures such as fairies, trolls, and centaurs. He also explains the old woman in the forest was a witch. Her name is Muriel Taggert and the shack and knots were her prison. This piece of information would completely turn their visit around, though not at first. After meeting Maddox, a fairy broker, Seth made a bad choice concerning a fairy, and was turned into some sort of mutated walrus as revenge. Luckily, the old lady Seth found in the woods managed to sort him out, though at a high price to his family. Later, Grandpa explains that Midsummer Eve is a time when all creatures, light or dark, can roam into the yard and warns to not, never, open the window, for whatever reason. Seth, giving in to his curious, disobedient reality, opened the window. That single action put his grandparents in danger, his sister in danger, and ultimately, he put the world in danger. When the night is over, they discover that Stan and Lena have been taken, and that Dale has been turned to stone. They soon discover that their pet chicken is actually their transfigured grandmother Ruth. Despite their uncertainty and worry, they sought help from Muriel to restore Ruth to her former state. This results in Muriel's release. Then attempted to launch a rescue attempt to free Stan, Dale, and Lena which resulted in the capture of Seth, Grandma and Hugo's destruction. After successfully communing with the Fairy Queen Kendra uses Viola's milk to make a mixture which helps her summon fairy warriors who help her defeat Muriel and a reawakened demon Bahumat. Seth and Kendra find Grandpa and Dale and Lena. Lena is then turned into a naiad.
