D A. | 2 comments Where a story character who is a princess starting to lose her world because the author is dying or have forgetting the story because of old age so in order to save it she goes on an epic journey and at the end she save her story through the memories of the author daughter.

she got swallowed by fish
Thief give her a rose (which isn't part of the story)

it's kinda like the move wrecked Ralph but with a storybook

D A. | 2 comments Yes thank you !!!! I can’t believe I forgotten that book it came up when my nephew ask me what books I read as I keep i remember it in great detail but not the name. I remember grabbing it out of curiosity in middle school out of my teacher collection of books during free time. And remember how vivid words were that I clearly see it in my mind.
