Ivy and Forest Rewrite the World

Ivy is an isolated, daydreaming girl in the "real" world. Forest is a scrawny, unlikely hero in Ivy's "pretend" story. Never the two shall meet . . . until Forest unexpectedly walks through a portal and finds himself in Ivy's queendom. All Forest wants to do is talk to the author of his story about a few edits to his character arc—he has no idea what kind of narrative stakes he is up against.

As soon as Ivy and Forest try to rewrite Forest's story, the pair gets caught in an evil wizard's plot for world domination. They must travel through the multiverse of Ivy's imagination—along with a mishmash cast of abandoned characters, including junior superheroes, an intrepid Victorian girl detective, and even a rough draft version of Forest himself—to foil their dastardly foe. If they don't succeed in their heroic quest, each and every world (possibly even Ivy's own!) could be obliterated with just two short words: "The End."

Each story splinters into the next in this brilliant spin on classic storytelling tropes that celebrates the power of imagination and creativity during uncertain times. Bursting with energy, Hannah West makes a fresh middle grade debut that is perfect for bookworms and kids with big imaginations.
