Worlds of Ink and Shadow: A Novel of the Brontës

(4) YA For the Brontë children, reality and fiction collide when they strike a bargain to travel as characters inside their own stories. As the young authors lose control, secrets among the siblings enrich an otherwise tepid fantasy plot. Despite its lacking drama, the story's biographical details and literary references (Charlotte "poor and plain"; Emily falls in love with a Heathcliff-like rogue) will please keen observers.
