(4) 4-6 Sylvie, a princess in a storybook, escapes from the margins of her pages and enters the dreams of one of the book's readers, a girl named Claire. A generation later, Sylvie crosses into the dreams of Claire's daughter Lily and inspires the young woman to write. This cleverly inventive novel contains some underdeveloped scenes but comes to a thoughtful and touching conclusion.
