Emelin, from the village of Olam, is eleven years old and has a mind of her own, thank you very much. After a strange visit from the Tooth, she and her best friend Frank are sent on a grand adventure to stop the Dark and Evil Being from doing a terrible something. Along the way, Emelin is told she is in a story written by the Storywriter. However, this is ridiculous and can’t possibly be true—because Emelin writes her own story, and no one is going to tell her otherwise.
I was hooked on the storyline immediately. Jordan’s attention to detail painted such a vivid picture of characters, settings and plot points that it was easy to picture each moment as if happening right in front of you. I found myself anticipating each page turn and not wanting to put it down. It has a very Chronicles of Narnia vibe!
