A middle grade novel about a girl who deals with an anxiety disorder by drawing a lot. But then she's pulled into a world of myths and plucky rebel kids which was created by her drawings, and because of her role as creator of that world she's the only one with the power to defeat an evil being who can use her drawings to escape into the real world! It's a fun concept and has some good details and ideas. But the tone of the narrative made it all feel a little too unreal, keeping me from being able to care about the characters and the stakes. So overall a quick and easy read that I'd certainly recommend to kids, but not one that ultimately spoke deeply to me.
