Back Blurb
“HEY KID, wake up.”
That’s how Will’s adventure began. The next thing he knew he’d fallen through a mysterious coin slot in his floor and landed in The Realm, where people like him were not supposed to be. Confused, angry, and a bit bewildered by the unhinged behavior of the Penny Gnomes – Will found himself in a land at war with a rampaging horde of camouflaged lawyers. To make matters worse Will was supposed to be the key to saving The Realm, disbarring the lawyers, and putting imagination back on the right track.
All he had in his corner was a voice in his head, a professor of Applied Imagination, and a grumpy Penny Gnome named Bug. Narrative had the horde right where it wanted them.
