When Penny inherits her grandparents' forgotten, but beloved bookstore, she expects to find little more than dust and childhood memories. Instead, hidden behind the crowded shelves lies a secret room filled with an impressive collection of first-edition classics - and an enchanting power waiting to be unlocked. With a single kiss, Penny pulls legendary characters from their classical tales into the real world. Except, the characters arrive with a surprise - a super power that reflects their unique literary abilities.
Little did Penny know, the awakening of these well-known heroes, also unleashes their deadliest foes. The more she learns about the truth of her grandparents' forgotten bookstore, the more the darkening shadows creep into her world.
Penny must forge an unlikely alliance with an unlikely group of characters to prevent a master shadow wielder, a ruthless barbarian, and a mind-controlling potions master from tearing her world apart. With a little help from her new role as the book keeper, she prepares to defend her inheritance. Sherlock Holmes offers his deductive foresight, Edmond Dant s wields his swift blade, Dr. Watson uses his healing hands, Dr. Frankenstein shares his maddening creativity, and Dorothy clicks her realm-bending heels to protect Penny, the bookstore, and their world.
Will the heroes' efforts be enough to save the world from destruction, or will the villains of classic literature finally rewrite their ending?
