Bookroo's summary

In a family living within the pages of a book, the youngest daughter feels out of place without a story of her own. Embarking on a whimsical journey through fairy tales, adventures, and mysteries, she searches for where she truly belongs. Will she find her story among the pages, or is her tale yet to be written? This enchanting quest celebrates the magic of stories and the journey of self-discovery.

From the publisher

Among a family who lives in a book, the youngest daughter is the only one who doesn’t have a story to belong to, so she sets out among fairy tales, adventures, mysteries, histories, science fiction, and others to track down her story. By the Calecott Medal winner of The Man Who Walked Between the Towers.
