This fun and cheeky read takes real historical authors and explains their fantastical tales by dragging three young Oxford men into a parallel world where magic is real. Clues to the three men's future writings poke out from every page of the book, adding a sense of mischief to the adventure. The story doesn't have a lot of depth, but there are some surprising and satisfying moments that deal with growing up that would resonate with children and teens alike.
