Bookroo's summary

Lana's love for stories is tested when her brother, Harrison, outgrows their games. Lonely, she finds a portal to a perilous fairy tale realm hidden in a supermarket. The characters need her help against an evil witch, but Lana can't do it alone. Can she reignite Harrison's belief in stories and convince him to join her on this dangerous quest before it's too late?

From the publisher

From actor, author, and comedian Ben Miller comes an illustrated middle grade fantasy adventure that’s “entertaining fairy-tale fun” (Kirkus Reviews) following a brother and sister who stumble into a magical new world–perfect for fans of Half Upon a Time and Land of Stories! Lana loves stories, especially the ones she and her brother, Harrison, share in their make-believe games. But when Harrison decides he’s too grown-up to play with Lana anymore, she’s too lonely to find the wonder in storytelling…until something magical happens. Lana discovers a portal to a fairy tale world hidden in the strange new supermarket in town! But these aren’t the happy-ever-after fairy tales that Lana knows–they are darker and more dangerous, and the characters need Lana’s help to defeat an evil witch. But she can’t do it alone. Can she convince Harrison to believe in stories again and journey to the world with her before it’s too late?
