About this ebook

What if your dearest friends were trapped in a world that was dying?

Mehera Beatrice Crosby has one great love—and it's not following the latest health fads (like her school friend Celeste), and it's definitely not Andrew Suarez (even if he does have a ridiculous crush on her). It's Imaginalis, her favorite book series.

When she learns that the long-awaited last book in the series has been canceled, Mehera is devastated—until strange events begin unfolding, and she realizes that her Imaginalian friends are counting on her to rescue them from their fading existence. Soon Mehera finds herself traveling between her world and the kingdom of Imaginalis. But what will happen when she accidentally brings the villain of the series, Pralaya, back to Earth, along with Prince Imagos and his Companions? Has Mehera doomed both worlds beyond repair, or is there a way to save Mehera's world—and Imaginalis, too?

Expert storyteller J. M. DeMatteis's richly imagined fantasy is a fast-paced adventure and a testament to the power of loyal friendship, creativity, and imagination.

Ratings and reviews

Mehera is a twelve year old who is caught up in a books series. When the series is suddenly discontinued she become rude and sullen. Her friends and father try to encourage her to forget about it. She believes the land of Imaginalis is real. She is right. It is up to her to help the Imaginalis save their land. I enjoyed this book and know I will have a difficult time keeping this book on my shelves. I didn't immediately like Mehera. She came off as rude to her friends and especially her father. This book seems to be all about change. I believe the thing I loved the most was the use of the imagination. Our children today seem to have lost the use of their imagination. This book lends itself to so many creative writing projects. I hope to read more by this author.
