Meggie loves stories, but her father, Mo, hasn't read
to her since her mother disappeared.
When a stranger knocks at their door, Mo is forced to reveal an
extraordinary secret – when he reads aloud, words come alive,
and dangerous characters step out of the pages.
Suddenly Meggie is living the kind of adventure she has only read
about in books, but this one will change her life for ever ...
A thrilling and magical adventure about stories and the
imagination they inspire.
