Buck and his friend Lizzie are fans of the much-loved fantasy series Triumphant Gnome Syndicate. When they attend the third book's release party, strange things happen, and the kids find themselves in the land of the stories, where it seems Buck himself just might be the hero. Buck's first-person narrative is sharp and funny, and the clever ending (with a girl-power twist) assures a sequel.
