What's the Story?
Storybound ended on a suspenseful note: young Una Fairchild, an orphan who's been spirited from our world to the land of Story, where she's made many friends and had great adventures, learns the dark secret of her parentage, and releases evil forces bent on nothing less than STORY'S END. Now she and her classmates in Story must use all their skills and bravery as they join Story's other characters to defend their home.
Is It Any Good?
Kids who already know the characters will enjoy the reunion and the fast-moving adventure of Story's End. Kids who haven't read the imaginative, complex Storybound may have a hard time getting their bearings concerning Story and its inhabitants, as well as the cosmic clash that threatens to engulf them.
