Magic? Just a myth. Fairy tales? Mere stories. Happily ever afters? Unrealistic dreams.
That's what ten-year-old Evangeline "Evie" Hillsbury grew up hearing. But in her heart, she knew what the truth was; she just needed proof. When an opportunity arises through a school field trip to visit a water well believed to have been magical, Evie soon has the chance she's been hoping for.
Accompanied by her teen brother, Quinn, Evie dives headfirst into the magical world of Enchancia, along with meeting the characters she's read about her whole life.
Only in this story, 'happily ever afters' aren't always guaranteed or easy...
