During her summer vacation on a forgotten Shetland island, Amy discovers that as a member of the Lennox family of Stormsay, she has the ability to travel into books and influence their stories. She quickly makes friends in the literary world: Shere Khan, the tiger from The Jungle Book, always has valuable advice for her, while Goethe's Werther, though drowning his heartache in ink-filled cocktails, has been a loyal friend ever since she saved him from the advances of the witches from Macbeth.

First, money disappears from Ali Baba's treasure chambers, then Elizabeth Bennet injures herself on her way to the ball with Mr. Darcy, putting one of the most famous love stories in jeopardy...
