Description

There is a magical land just beyond our imaginations called Jirvania; where stories grow. Muse faeries harvest these 'pearls' and bring them to our world. 
In the heart of Jirvania, stands The Great Library, home of every book ever written, and a portal to other times and places where one can step into stories and experience them first hand. A kind wizard, Karel, has been Guardian of The Great Library for over a thousand years.
When young Jack Lemoine finds an opal dragon egg in Mystic, Connecticut, he soon discovers the real world is not what he thought. 
Dragons, unicorns, and faeries do exist. Unfortunately, so do witches, ogres, and other monsters, and they want Jack dead, yesterday. 
A prophecy is written in the stars that he will one day save Jirvania, but evil forces find a way to disrupt time itself, and Jirvania is annihilated before Jack comes of age.
Imagination ceases to exist. Libraries crumble, art disappears, and theme parks vanish. Music dies. Our lives become empty and meaningless.
Imprisoned on Muse Mountain, Jirvania's lone survivor, Karel, receives a visitor from the stars above, urging him to change the story.
Meanwhile, back in Mystic, Jack and his friend, Mia are thrown into a fantastical adventure when Julu, the opal dragon hatches to protect them, taking them back in time to fix what once went wrong.The children soon learn that family, friendship, and love are the threads that bind us together, no matter who or what we are and hope is found in the most unexpected places.
Now Jack must help change the story before it's too late, but Guardian Karel harbors a terrible secret that may destroy our imaginations forever.

There is a magical land just beyond our imaginations called Jirvania; where stories grow. Muse faeries harvest these 'pearls' and bring them to our world. 
In the heart of Jirvania, stands The Great...

I like Julu and the world building that making me curious of the detail. I wish there's an illustration inside, I might be drawn in the story. Because I want to see Julu's expression and see how colorful Julu's world.

Loved this. Fast paced, the writing flowed perfectly. This enchanting storyline will keep a young readers attention captivated for hours. Their imagination will create a magical dreams filled with pearls in a different world filled with fairies and adventure. Definitely a great gift for any young reader.

An enjoyable fantasy where imagination itself meets peril and branches off into a puzzle of stories that are all intricately linked to tell a whole story. I enjoyed this read not only because of the characters, but the many different stories that connected directly and those that connected in a more subtle way. It made the adventure that much more interesting and kept me interested and invested as much as what I felt for the characters and their individual challenges did.
