When a mysterious book appears on the coffee table of Maggy and Ethan's house, they have no idea of the adventure in store for them. They discover a magical bookshop and its wildly eccentric proprietor, Mr.Catterwall, as well as his geriatric kitty, Achebe. But when the children are pulled into one of the books, they find themselves at the mercy of the Junglest--a beautiful place where stories grow on trees--and its many residents. But Maggy and Ethan aren't the first to ever visit this magical land. The Pharess has come before them, and she has plans for a story all her own. So, come in reader. Come in. Pull up a nice place under a blue tree, and enjoy the story. But fair warning: Not all stories are safe. Here there be Bearguars.
