Twelve-year-old Ainsley Galloway and her ten-year-old brother, Tobin, have just moved to the small picturesque mountain town of Lowry. The town is famously the setting for the blockbuster Legend of Greyhallow trilogy, and there are traces of the films wherever they go. Ainsley's parents even bought the film director's former home, which they dream of turning into an inn that caters to fans eager to check out the local Greyhallow Movie Festival. But when Ainsley and Tobin are fooling around in the attic of their new home, Ainsley unleashes something—something she doesn't quite understand—and suddenly, purple mist is flooding the town, she's receiving cryptic messages from strangers in medieval garb, and, oddest of all, the enigmatic director of the Greyhallow movies, who's been missing for years, has a message for them. Ainsley and Tobin have opened a passage between the very real magical world of the movies and their own. In a swirl of shifting loyalties, capricious creatures, and movie trivia, they have to figure out what to do—and who to trust—in order to save them all.

      Twelve-year-old Ainsley Galloway and her 10-year-old brother Tobin have just moved to the small town of Lowry, famous as the shooting location of epic fantasy movie trilogy Greyhallow. Their parents plan to turn the house of the franchise’s long-vanished director into a Greyhallow-themed inn, decorated with possessions he left behind, including movie costumes and props. In the inn’s attic, Ainsley and Tobin discover an old movie projector that allows them to physically enter the world of Greyhallow. But the fantastical realm is much less welcoming than the one the siblings remember from the films. While exploring, they encounter people and creatures from the movies, and accidentally unleash the series’ antagonist, Lord Mourdro, and his armies into the real world. Now the duo must not only help Greyhallow’s inhabitants reclaim their world but stop Mourdro from destroying Earth as well. In this exuberant adventure, Short (Attack of the Killer Komodos) blends ordinary interpersonal issues between Ainsley and her best friend Charlotte with classic portal fantasy tropes and properties to flesh out a wish-fulfilling jaunt couched in the theme of a metafictional desire to visit a beloved fandom’s world. Charlotte cues as Korean American; most other characters read as white. Ages 10–up. Agent: Alyssa Eisner Henkin, Birch Path Literary.
