Library books. They look so innocent and helpful. But did you know there's a border keeping the world of stories apart from the real-life world? And that the border must be guarded at all times? Me neither! I know it now, that's for sure. My friends Damiano and Ines crossed that border. They escaped from a book into my quiet, perfect little town of Alta Donna. And boy, did they bring trouble with them. Now it s up to me to save the town, save my friends, and fix the damage to both worlds. At last my storytelling and dreams will come in handy!
