In Sleepy Creek Library, living and breathing stories have to be retrieved from the Land of Books. Rida loves helping her grandad in the Sleepy Creek Library. She makes a list of all the readers' requests and passes it to Grandad to retrieve them. But when Arun asks for a book so adventurous no one has ever been able to catch it, Grandad says he can't help. Can Rida secretly journey to the Land of Books and find the story herself?
