From international bestselling author Josephine Angelini, comes a cozy fantasy fairytale in the spirit of The Princess Bride . Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett and Gail Carson Levine. Ever wish you could travel inside your favorite book and become the main character? Of course you have. Everyone has. But if you ever manage to pull it off, here’s a tip. Timing is everything. Take Holly for example, who after saying a spell, is transported inside a fairy tale called The Chronicles of Lucitopia, a magical world infested with grifter grandmas, halitosis-riddled bandits, and devoid of any functioning toilets. Holly becomes Princess Pleasant exactly as she wished but she gets there too late, ruining the story, allowing for Asphodel The Evil Sorcerer to turn Lucitopia into a tetanus-ridden hellhole. With the help of the freakishly handsome (yet frustratingly virtuous), Sir Torvold the Bold, Holly has fifteen days to defeat Asphodel and turn her fairy tale back to the way it was, or she’ll be stuck inside the book for the rest of her life.
