Escaping Ordinary

By: Scott Reintgen

Narrated by: Nancy Wu

In this action-packed sequel to Saving Fable perfect for readers of The Land of Stories and The Phantom Tollbooth, Indira finds herself thrown into a quest full of dragons, unlikely allies, and high stakes.

It's been a year since Indira rescued the city of Fable and landed a starring role in a story of her own. Now Indira's ready for a well-earned vacation.

Too bad her advisors have other plans. In preparation for her story's sequel, Indira has been enrolled in the Hero's Journey tutorial, a quest designed to teach her how to be a team player. Indira's assigned crew is a mix of familiar faces and new friends, each hoping to follow in her footsteps into a story.

Indira is ready for this new challenge--until someone crashes their quest. The intruder is more powerful than anyone she's faced before and begins transforming Ordinary into a giant video game. Indira's team will have to level up and outplay their opponent, or else the world's most beloved stories might be lost forever.

Critic reviews

"A delightful read." --Kirkus Reviews

"A worthy follow-up to a standout series opener." --School Library Journal

Great adventure book!

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator did well. She did a great job of doing many unique voices that were pleasant to listen to and could easily be identified and none of which were grating. Writing about characters in training going thru a tutorial on a basic plotline is a refreshingly new concept for a book. As someone who enjoys reading and discussing famous books and plays, I got a big kick out of the famous characters included in this book and the way they act and speak that so perfectly fits each character. This book is an exciting listen that encourages team work, changing for the better, and helping others.

The best book ever made

Phenix is my most favorite character because he can literally turn into a freakin dragon!
