Journey to the Kingdom of No Return

By Leslie R Henderson

Book Overview

Ever wonder what happens to a good book once its shelf life has come to an end? This is the tale of Little Book, a former bestseller forced to serve out the remainder of his time on the sale rack (aka "The Kingdom of No Return") in order to make room for the new arrivals. But just when he's labeled a has-been and fate seems ready to hurl him into the shadows, Ranger Johnny Depth, head space-keeper of the bookstore, makes him an offer he can't refuse: Rescue Sci-fi action-hero Luke Shelfwalker who's gone MIA on the dark side, and he'll have shelf space in the bookstore for as long as he wants.

Afraid he'll soon be forgotten if he's forced to vacate the bestseller's bookcase, Little Book accepts the daring mission that pits him against the enemies of books (aka the marauders), a coven of rats, roaches, and silverfish who rule the forbidden territory with unyielding malice and unbridled mayhem. These guys eat good books for lunch

Through a series of setbacks and chaos, and unmitigated disaster, this high-stakes coming-of-age adventure forces the teen hero to realize nothing and no one lives forever, and that sometimes, in order to go down in history, one must be willing to face the uncertain future.

Rife with puns and parodies, Journey to the Kingdom of No Return is a survivor's fairytale that blurs the line between fantasy and reality in a world where the imagination is the fiercest battleground.
