ADELLE Y CONNIE son íntimas amigas desde hace años, unidas por su amor a una novela poco conocida, Moira. Al no poder localizar a su autora, la esquiva Robin Amery, tienen que conformarse con releer el libro sin descanso mientras sueñan con lo maravilloso que seria vivir en el mundo de esa fantasia romantica, plagada de intrigas y emociones.Aun asi, cuando el misterioso señor Straven las tienta a que entren en el mundo del libro, a duras penas se imaginan que pueda acabar funcionando.Y cuando se encuentran con que el mundo de la novela esta patas arriba, y que a los fastuosos bailes y amores desdichados se suman horrores indecibles, comprenden que detras de su incursion en la ficcion se esconde algo siniestro y que cualquier esperanza de salir vivas de esa pesadilla pasa por reescribir sus propios argumentos.Cerro mucho los ojos, suspirando. ¿Que debia de haber hecho Connie? Si habia dejado el mensaje significaba que estaba en la ciudad. ¿Se habia quedado cerca del parque? ¿Pero hasta cuando? El mensaje era señal de que cronologicamente llevaba mas tiempo en el libro. El pasaje elegido por Adelle quedaba hacia la mitad, en medio de la trama. Ya habian pasado muchas cosas: el compromiso, el primer encuentro en el parque, el plan de secuestro, el baile de los cuchicheos... y, ahora, el segundo encuentro en el parque. Podia querer decir que Connie tambien llevaba mas tiempo real dentro del libro. Quiza intentase buscar a alguno de sus personajes y hacerse amiga de el. Era lo que habria hecho Adelle. Exquisitamente construida, y de una maravillosa extravagancia. Imaginativa y cautivadora.Kirkus ReviewsUn mundo de ficcion perfectamente recreado y unos personajes redondos y atractivos dan un toque distinto y refrescante a esta aventura, con cierto romanticismo que le añade mas emocion.School Library Journal
