The pony is being cared for by a young girl called Faith. When Alex accepts a drink from Faith’s grandmother, he wakes up later to find himself transported into 2038 to a technologically-advanced, very colourful world inhabited by humans and robots. Alex soon discovers that he is now twenty, married and has a magical little baby girl. A magic he only seems to notice.

He travels back through the magic pages of books to try and save her before it is too late and she is lost from him forever.
Customer Reviews
A Very Imaginative Story!
My rating for this book is 4.5 stars, but I'm rounding it up to 5 because I love the cover so much! The cover and all the great reviews were what led me to read this, despite it being outside the genre I normally read. I don't read a lot of fantasy, but once I let myself get lost in the world that Katrina Hart created, I found it to be quite an adventure!
A young man named Alex travels to the future after taking a drink from a gypsy. In this futuristic and magical world, he is now married with a baby girl. That's quite an adjustment! But it becomes even more complicated because his daughter is no ordinary baby. And there is nothing ordinary about this world either.
This book moves along very fast, and it will keep you on your toes! Dragonstar, the main villain, who is part human, part owl, is nothing short of evil. There are quite a few unique characters in this book. I particularly liked Fumble, one of the robots, who had a very sad backstory.
Despite Alex getting thrown into a terrible situation where he has to try to save his daughter and the entire town, he really steps up to the plate. He's simply a good guy, who is easy to root for. There is even a nice love story, which I was happy about.
This is a very imaginative world where you can literally travel through reading books and where magic is a part of everyday life. It was enjoyable to go on this journey with Alex as he learned more about his own past while he tried to figure out how to defeat Dragonstar. There were also quite a few twists and turns, especially towards the end!
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading stories where anything is possible.
