Although she was convinced her eyes were playing tricks on her, Charlie watched in amazement as the storybook's pages started to glow. Thanks to her natural curiosity she touched the page it was opened on. But instead of her hand touching it, her hand sank into the page and she felt a cool breeze running through her fingers. Shocked she pulled back her hand. Could this be real? 'No, it must have been an illusion.', Charlie thought, 'But what if her Grandpa had been telling the truth all along? He couldn't just have disappeared into thin air.' Carefully Charlie stuck her hand in again, then her arm, then her head all the way up to her shoulders. She was maybe 20 feet up in the air, above a thick forest. She leaned in more to look further. Suddenly she was hit by a strong gust of wind. She tried to catch herself but she started falling. After falling for what had felt like an eternity, but had probably only been a few seconds, she hit the ground. Blinding pain filled her head, before everything turned black.
This takes place at the end of the last book in the Land of Stories series. It's a continuation of the epilogue. Conner and Alex are now eighty years old. I have to guess, I'm not sure if it was ever mentioned, but I assume that Goldie, Red, Jack and Froggy must be about ninety years old. It seems a bit unrealistic that they are all still alive, but it was mentioned in the epilogue. In the epilogue Alex says that Goldie broke her hip while teaching her grandchildren back handsprings, bit I'm going to turn that into her great-grandchildren, because, according to my assumption Hero must be about 65 now, so even if she had more children, her grandchildren are probably already adults.
Disclaimer: I do not own the The Land of Stories series.
I could really use help. It doesn't have to be as a Beta-Reader, a helpful comment is enough, especially with the writing flow.
