SYNOPSIS: Meggie's mother has been gone for most of her life. She has lived a somewhat nomadic life with her father, moving as often as she can settle in any place. When a mysterious stranger finds them, however, her life is forever changed. She discovers that her father can read characters out of books and into real life. However, when he does, the story takes people from the world around them to replace the missing characters.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: This is a fun, adventurous story that has plenty of suspense in it. It is told in classic fairy-tale style, so it has plenty of fantasy and some violence. There is very little sensuality, including a brief reference to maturation.
