Вот только их "трудности" далеки от привычных проблем: каждый воспитанник побывал в ином мире, который считает своим подлинным домом и мечтает туда вернуться. Главное - успеть отыскать свою "дверь" до того, как станешь слишком взрослым… или сойдешь с ума.

Но и в бренном мире жизнь подменыша не назовешь простой, а Тоби, похоже, вдобавок ко всему обладает талантом притягивать проблемы. Она уму...

For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected—perhaps infected is a better word—by memetic incursion: where fairy tale narratives become reality...
