Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme that spotlights upcoming books to get excited for. It’s hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
This week I’m waiting on . . . .
HarperCollins Children’s
April 2012
In the land of Story, children go to school to learn to be characters: a perfect Hero, a trusty Sidekick, even the most dastardly Villain. They take classes on Outdoor Experiential Questing and Backstory, while adults search for full-time character work in stories written just for them.What really draws me in is the imaginativeness of the story. I think that’s one thing that middle grade has the YA doesn’t—imagination.
In our world, twelve-year-old Una Fairchild has always felt invisible. But all that changes when she stumbles upon a mysterious book buried deep in the basement of her school library, opens the cover, and suddenly finds herself transported to the magical land of Story.
But Story is not a perfect fairy tale. Una’s new friend Peter warns her about the grave danger she could face if anyone discovers her true identity. The devious Tale Keeper watches her every move. And there are whispers of a deadly secret that seems to revolve around Una herself....
With the timeless appeal of books like A Wrinkle in Time and the breathtaking action of Inkheart, Storybound has all the makings of a new classic. Brimming with fantastical creatures, magical adventure, and heart-stopping twists, Storybound will leave readers wishing they too could jump through the pages into this enchanting fairy-tale world.

That cover is amazing, isn't it? Can't wait to read this one--sounds like it'll be hard to put down.
Aw, Brent, I'm blushing! Thank you so much for sharing STORYBOUND's cover. I'm hoping you (and all the readers) love it as much as I do. :)
This reminds me of Spiderwick. Or maybe it's just the cover.
Love the cover.
