Dear Reader, This book was not supposed to happen. It began with a pencil, a portal, and a mysteriously opinionated sandwich—and quickly unraveled into time loops, arguing punctuation marks, and a talking sock puppet with boundary issues. Molly, Kramer, and Alex didn’t mean to break the story. But when their magical compass shattered and the narrator went rogue, they had only one choice left: write their way out. This is not a story about chosen ones. It’s a story about accidental ones—about what happens when kids with big hearts and bigger imaginations fall into a world that ...
