When the story ends...

A girl who is silently suffering from depression lives a normal life in a little town in England. She has plenty of friends and a loving family but still struggles to get through the day before breaking down. She has one comfort in life though, books. Books help her but she still feels like she is going to live a lonely life where after she is gone nobody will know or remember her name. She longs for the glamorous life of a Broadway Star, the life of a celebrity where she can't leave the house because to many people know her name. She knows this is a child's dream but refuses to let go of her main ambition. To write stories. Stories that manage to stay with you wherever you go, stories that change your perspective, stories that change the world.

When she reads she forgets her lonely life and is transported into another world, a world where she attends a school of magic, a world where she travels to OZ, a world where she is special.

Once day when she visits her local book emporium she picks up an interesting looking book. A book which the shop owner Mr Bellevue says is second hand but it looks a lot older than that. The girl reads the book and get transported into another world, a world where she has to stay until she stops turning the pages and the story ends. When the story ends she can return home, but what if she doesn't want to in the end?
