The Secret History of Tom Trueheart by Ian Beck

341 pages

The men up in the Story Bureau begin a story, which sprites deliver to the true adventurers. The adventurers take the story start, and head off into the Land of Stories, where they will live the story out till it's end. Then the adventurer returns to the Bureau, and recounts his adventure so that it may be made into a fairy tale. But one storymaster, Ormestone, is not happy with someone always taking off to finish his stories...the endings would be so much better if the Bureau would let him finish his own creations. So he sets off to destroy the Trueheart boys, the last in the line of true adventurers. When Tom's six brothers fail to return from their journeys, the twelve-year-old must set off on his own, on his very first adventure.

Loved this book. Had so many classics, such as the Frog Prince, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, with a new exciting twist.
