Have you ever loved a story so much you felt it was real? Ever tried to connect with that story though your own writing or art? Have you ever been devastated to learn that a story was canceled before it could be concluded? Ever wish ... you could do something about it? That's what this book is about.

This story is about Mehera Crosby and her connection with a wonderful - and sadly discontinued - fantasy series. It's told from her point of view and deMatteis does a good job of capturing the voice of a 12-year-old girl. It's a very quick read but thoroughly enjoyable. ( )

Mehera is a twelve year old who is caught up in a books series. When the series is suddenly discontinued she become rude and sullen. Her friends and father try to encourage her to forget about it. She believes the land of Imaginalis is real. She is right. It is up to her to help the Imaginalis save their land. I enjoyed this book and know I will have a difficult time keeping this book on my shelves. I didn't immediately like Mehera. She came off as rude to her friends and especially her father. This book seems to be all about change. I believe the thing I loved the most was the use of the imagination. Our children today seem to have lost the use of their imagination. This book lends itself to so many creative writing projects. I hope to read more by this author. ( )
