There's a border keeping the world of stories apart from the real-life world. Nola's friends Damiano and Inés crossed that border. They escaped from a book into her town and brought trouble with them. Can Nola fix the damage?

It turns out Alta Donna isn't boring, after all, but contains everything Nola ever dreamed about-and a few nightmares, too. Now that Nola's friends Damiano and Ines have crossed the boundary between worlds, there are consequences. Villains and monsters have taken over the story book world-and to keep things that way, the villains must get rid of Damiano and Ines once and for all, even if they have to go through Nola to do it. In this fast-moving conclusion to the Alta Donna trilogy, only Nola, her storytelling skills, and a few things she's managed to learn in class can save the town and her friends and fix the damage to both worlds.
