Narnia meets Pages and Co. in this absolutely delightful book filled with charm and adventure.
12-year-old Flick dreams of traveling the world, but until she happens upon an shop called The Strangeworlds Travel Agency, her dreams seem far out of reach. That all changes when she learns about the agency, which turns out to actually be an outpost for the Strangeworlds Society, a secret organization of adventurers who travel not simply between countries, but between *worlds*. Jonathan, the Custodian managing the agency, invites Flick to join the society. Flick soon finds, however, that as wonderful as it is to explore new worlds (and it *is* wonderful), something seems not quite right about many of the places she visits. Could that strangeness somehow be related to Jonathan's missing father?
