Meggie adores stories, but her father Mo has stopped reading to her—not since her mother disappeared.
Everything changes when a mysterious visitor appears at their door, and Mo is forced to reveal a breathtaking secret: when he reads aloud, the words come to life—sometimes dangerously so.
Suddenly, Meggie is swept into a real-life adventure more thrilling and terrifying than any book she’s ever read—and nothing will ever be the same again. (Book 1)
