Michael is a young bookworm who really believes in magic. But even he isn't prepared for what lies behind the secret door in the school library: Treeshallow, a parallel land where all known stories originate from.
When Michael runs into the residents of Treeshallow, he finds them reminiscent of characters he's read about in books.

But even with their combined forces, can the two save Rogers from the clutches of evil?
