Lana loves stories. Especially the ones she and her brother, Harrison , share in their make-believe games. But when Harrison decides he's too grown-up to play with Lana she finds herself feeling lonely. Until something magical happens...

Hidden in the strange new supermarket in town, Lana discovers a portal to a fairytale world ! But these aren't the happy-ever-after fairytales that Lana knows, they are darker and more dangerous, and the characters need Lana's help to defeat an evil witch . But she can't do it alone. Can she convince Harrison to believe in stories again and journey to the world with her. . . before it's too late?

This is a story about stories, but it's also about a brother and a sister finding their way back to each other through the power of imagination.
