"Everything in Young-hee's life is wrong. Her dad is gone, her mom is overworked, and she's forced to move back to Seoul. The girls at her school are nasty, and her little brother Bum is a pain in the butt. Then Young-hee stumbles into a magical world where the fairy tales of her childhood become real and all the frustrations of her everyday life quickly fade away. But when Bum is kidnapped in that magical realm, the only way Young-hee can save him is to go on a perilous quest in search of the magical Pullocho plant. And she soon finds herself facing decisions that affect not just her little brother, but fate of an entire world."--Page 4 cover.
