Publisher's Synopsis
After the worst day ever at her new school, nine-year-old Steve wishes that everything was different. To make her feel better, Mom gives Steve a mysterious book that is written upside-down, back to front, and entirely in riddles. That night, when its pages fall open in front of her bedroom mirror, the words become clear, and as Steve begins to read she's swept up, swung around, and transported to the fantastical world in the book: Opposite Land. In this new land, everything is the opposite-mermaids are ugly, princes need rescuing, and people poop ice-cream! And according to Sanjiv, chief member of the Royal Cabbage Ministry, Steve is the princess prophesied to save Opposite Land from the evil Emperor Never and his wicked army of Whatevers. Can Steve help restore Opposite Land to its former glory and find her way back home?
