From international bestselling author Josephine Angelini, comes a lighthearted romp 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 Lucitopia, a magical world infested with grifter grandmas, halitosis-riddled bandits, and devoid of 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. Now it’s up to Holly to make things right, and with the help of the freakishly handsome (yet frustratingly virtuous), Sir Torvold the Bold, Holly must find a way to turn Lucitopia into the fairy tale story she signed up for in the first place. Only one small hitch. If Holly doesn’t get out of Lucitopia in fifteen days she’ll be stuck there for the rest of her life, which probably won’t be much longer considering she’s overdue for her shots.
