Zoey is thirteen and a financial aid kid at her exclusive private school in San Diego. Lately she's been hating on her life, especially her English teacher, Mr. Huffam, and his threat: write a 5-page essay on the Charles Dickens's classic, Great Expectations, by Monday or you fail 8th grade. Zoey's world is suddenly upended when, during a freak earthquake, she gets pulled into the the book and finds herself transported to Victorian England. She falls hard in love with Pip and starts mysteriously aging in synch with the novel. Realizing that a dark force is weaving her into the story, she longs to get out. But what if the only way out of a book is through words? Can a girl with writer's block write her way home?
