Fantasy

DEATH **
PERIL ***
VIOLENCE ***
GUNS **
LANGUAGE ** (MILD)

A very exciting, action-packed series. This is one of the best, well-writen childrens book I have ever read. There is language, but it is quite mild.
Mo has a special gift. When he reads, certain items or characters from the books come to life. Literally. They are plucked from their world, and brought directly to ours. When Mo accidently brings three unpleasent characters to his living room, his life becomes a daring chase in order to survive. With help from his daughter, Meggie, can they ever find a way to put a stop to this madness?
