ABOUT THE BOOK

Seventeen-year-old Meridian Page has a rich imagination. To escape her quiet and boring town of Biddleborn, she makes up stories in her head-stories about a magic-filled world called Detritus and its inhabitants, including a princess named Lanora and a man called the Cat Lord. Not realizing how thin the walls of reality can be in a town where children have nothing better to do than tell stories, Meridian is shocked when the Cat Lord shows up in Biddleborn and warns her that imaginary characters like him are slipping through from Detritus to the real world.

With a doorway from the imaginary world of Detritus open, Meridian's imaginary characters-talking lawnmowers, a friendly skeleton, mutant animals and other creatures, living appliances, a wise dragon, zombies, dangerous creatures called shadow wights, and more-are increasingly slipping through to Biddleborn. By the time other Biddleborn residents' imaginary characters begin showing up as well, the town is awash in chaos as evil characters battle good ones and the town's residents. Can Meridian, her friends Artie and Cheese Fry, their parents, and Biddleborn's other residents save the town from Meridian's imagination? Read and find out.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

SHEILA STOWERS was born and raised in Southern Illinois, where she taught high school English for a long time. She now lives in Northeast Arkansas, where she shares a small cabin with an awful lot of cats and a solitary tortoise. She also has a small herd of goats and a flock of chickens, including a rooster who regards her with suspicion. Some of Sheila's animals helped inspire the characters in her debut young adult fantasy novel titled Biddleborn: A Fantasy World Attacks. When she isn't caring for animals or writing, Sheila works at a local university, where she stares at data and writes reports.
