A captivating emotional novel about a book witch and the power of literature. Rainy March’s world revolves around books; she loves them, protects them, and can step into them. She’s a book witch whose job is to keep stories and their fictional characters safe from burners. Rainy knows better than to break any of the rules her coven has when dealing with fictional worlds; however, her curiosity soon gets the best of her. She can’t help but jump on the first opportunity to meet her crush, the charming Duke of Chicago. Soon, even Rainy Witch can’t help but fall hard for the fictional character, even at risk of being expelled from her book coven. When her grandfather disappears, Rainy reluctantly agrees to the Duke’s help. They embark on a story-filled journey, meet fictional characters, and explore worlds before their time runs out.
At its core, this story is about the power of books and how they transform our lives. It’s a book everyone who has ever fallen in love with a story should read. It’s for any reader who ever wished the world within the book, and its characters could come to life. This story will remind you of the emotions you felt after reading the first book you befriended. It’s a comforting book that will keep you invested not only in the main character’s story but also in the world beyond her. You’ll smile when you meet well-known fictional characters and worlds you once knew, like Alice in Wonderland.
This book is perfect for any reader who enjoys getting lost in bookstores, visiting Little Free Libraries, and reminiscing about classic childhood favorites.
For readers who wish their favorite fictional characters would come to life
