"I am simply a 'book drunkard'. Books have the same irresistable temptation for me that liquor has for its devotee. I cannot withstand them." (L. M. Montgomery)
A tale akin to 'The Chronicles Of Narnia' and 'The Neverending Story' in that the protagonist gets, transported to and embroiled in rectifying a 'situation' in an alternate reality -- also in which personal strengths are discovered and character development takes place.
