Synopsis

In the land of Story, kids go to school to learn to be the perfect character: a brave Hero, a trusty Sidekick, even the most dastardly Villain. They dream of the day when they will live out Tales written just for them.But when an ordinary girl named Una Fairchild finds herself Written In to Story, she discovers that the magical land is threatened by a dark secret. As she digs deep into Story's shadowy past, Una realizes that she is tied to the world in ways she never could have imagined--and it may be up to her to save it.

About this title

Review:

"Readers who love fantasy may see an opportunity to snuggle up with a cup of cocoa and unravel the plot, which twists and turns in on itself, with happy surprises."--Kirkus Reviews

"A richly imagined world. Readers will enjoy the mind-bending fun of puzzling together small details."--Booklist

"An appealing fantasy. Strong writing and interesting characters make Una's journey enjoyable, and the overall result will have readers on the lookout for the planned sequel."--Publishers Weekly

"With its unique twist (her roommate, for example, is a snooty Snow White), Una's adventures should charm those who enjoy fairy-tale reboots, and the cliff-hanger ending could ensure demand for a sequel."--School Library Journal
