Collin Carpenter is a diet soda drinking dull boy content in his calm, predictable life. Theresa Keys is an enthusiastic young girl desperate to rediscover her imagination (after ruining it in the wash). With the help of her book of new fairy tales and Collin's unwitting assistance, Theresa discovers something wonderful. She unbinds herself from the rules and restrictions of everyday life, and now she is only limited by her imagination and heart. Ever grateful, Theresa takes Collin along as she rediscovers the world under her new rules. Together they befriend forces of nature, battle living terrors, and discover new meaning in an absurd world. But they are not alone in their discovery. Theresa and Collin quickly find themselves in the middle of a plot to take over their new world, one they aren't prepared to handle. And when the magic and wonder stops giving and starts taking, they must find a way to save it- or lose everything.
