summary: Rainy March's job as a book witch is to enter fictional books and fix problems when the characters go off-script. Though she tries to follow the rules of book-witchery, she has a hard time not falling in love with Duke, a detective in her favorite novel series. Unfortunately, since her grandfather is missing, she needs Duke's help to solve the case. Told in every genre, this book would be super fun for all readers and writers.
