The Great Good Thing - Thryft
The Great Good Thing - Thryft

Escape into adventure, with a storybook princess.

This is a beautifully written and imaginative story that will appeal to anyone who loves adventure, magic, and the power of storytelling. The idea of a storybook character coming to life and exploring the world beyond her pages is enchanting, and the author does an excellent job of bringing Sylvie's world to life. The book is full of surprises, and there are many unexpected twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a good fairy tale with a twist.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
