Summary:
"From the author of Transferral and Tangled Planet. Silva and her family visit her grandfather, only to find his health has taken a bad turn. As they struggle with this news, Silva seeks escape in books--at the local library. But she gets more than she bargained for when a magpie guides her to a secret, magical room containing books that she can not only read, but that she can live. Silva finds herself in the worlds of the characters... who all turn out to be real people. People she knows. There's a catch, though: she soon discovers that the magpie has lured her to these books for selfish and dark reasons. Going back to the books could mean losing her soul... but it may be the only chance to save her brother who, it turns out, has also been targeted by the magpie."--
