Wesley Bates thinks his life pretty much sucks. He's landed at the bottom of his school's popularity ladder, and bully Randy Stanford seems to be waiting around every corner…

The troubled teen thinks he's found a way to escape his real-world problems when he stumbles upon strange doorways in Astoria's local library that seem to lead into the extraordinary worlds from all his favorite books. Oz, Neverland, Wonderland—they're all a reality with Wesley's new discovery. Wesley teams with best friend Taylor Williams to embark on a great adventure, both ready to leave the drama of middle school behind.

But the two kids quickly find themselves embroiled in a centuries-old battle for the library and the magic hiding within. Now, fighting alongside the eccentric old man who's vowed to protect the building's power, the pair must help ward off an attack by a shadowy group with a strange tie to Wesley's nemesis, forcing Wesley to face the fears he's been dodging… and one of the most terrifying bullies of all time!

Peter Pan has always been Wesley's favorite book… But he may change his mind now that a Lost Boy has a knife to his throat. That's the kind of thing that can happen in Astoria's library.

Neverland? Wonderland? Oz? Open the right door and they're just a few steps away. But that opportunity for adventure can come with a price.

Wesley soon finds himself sucked into a centuries-old battle for the library's magic. Now he must fight alongside the building's mysterious caretaker to protect each of the fantasy worlds… Not to mention his own.
