About this listen

The ultimate book-lover's fantasy, featuring a young scholar with the power to bring literary characters into the world, for fans of The Magicians, Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, and The Invisible Library.

For his entire life, Charley Sutherland has concealed a magical ability he can't quite control: He can bring characters from books into the real world. His older brother, Rob - a young lawyer with a normal house, a normal fiancee, and an utterly normal life - hopes that this strange family secret will disappear with disuse, and he will be discharged from his life's duty of protecting Charley and the real world from each other. But then, literary characters start causing trouble in their city, making threats about destroying the world...and for once, it isn't Charley's doing.

There's someone else who shares his powers. It's up to Charley and a reluctant Rob to stop them, before these characters tear apart the fabric of reality.

A literary rabbit hole

This was amazing. I got so caught up in this story I burnt supper twice. The story was a literary rabbit hole that I fell into and couldn’t steal enough moments to listen . I really enjoyed.

On my top ten. I'm picky!

I have a Degree in English and teach the subject in highschool. I didn't need any of that crap to love this book. It takes classic literature where I've never read it before. Any listener will follow along (maybe miss some really good jokes) without knowing the literature it references.
