The main character is a kind of "fiction police"--she travels into fiction books to make sure the characters are behaving themselves and doing what their authors wrote. The book is really original and creative, it's hilarious, and sometimes a bit chaotic. It's a lot of fun!<br /><br />Dragons:<br /><i>Dragon's Milk</i> by Susan Fletcher.
