Riley Flynn loved books. She just never expected to find herself trapped inside one. Riley had always wanted to be a writer. It was something of a family tradition. Years ago, her great-grandfather had written a series of popular fantasy novels about a world called Alora. They'd been full of magic, mystical creatures, and adventures, and Riley thought they were just about the best books in the world. On her eleventh birthday Riley received a mysterious gift: a set of notebooks containing the handwritten first draft of her great-grandfather's first novel. The odd thing was, nobody knew who had sent them to her. Riley's great-grandfather had vanished many years earlier under circumstances that had never been explained. His notebooks hadn't been seen since. And while the old notebooks might have seemed harmless enough, they contained a power Riley could never have believed was possible. Now she finds herself trapped in Alora, the land of her great-grandfather's stories, with a misunderstood fairy as her only companion. Her only chance to get back to her own world lies in freeing the greatest wizard Alora has ever seen from a magical prison, all while being hunted by an evil queen who will stop at nothing to find her and claim the fairy's magic as her own.
