A normal girl in a normal world thinks she's ordinary. She and her parents own a bookstore, a place where Artemis loses herself time and time again. One day, though, she gets bored waiting for her friend to show, and she wanders around the store. She finds a flight of stairs she's never seen before, and curiosity overcomes her. Artemis climbs the stairs and finds a door, tests the handle, finds it unlocked. She tells her parents, but they don't believe her, so she shows them... an empty wall. With a photo of her grandmother. Then she hears whispers and feels like she's being watched. Artemis enters the door, only to find herself in an unfamiliar world, a world where she is safe, but at the same time, isn't...
When a not so ordinary book falls into the hands of a book hater, the tales in the book unlocks doors in her life she never knew existed.
AN EXCERPT FROM THE STORY:
**
As I lay my back on my tiny bed, a few inches away from my parent's at the extreme end of the room, I stare deeply at our ceiling, I realize it has a lot of patched holes, even Jenna who is only a youth lives in a house better than this, now I even compare our lives with a fiction character, is it now this bad.
