Isabelle Bean is trying to pay attention to her teacher, but she hears a buzz in her ear that she can't seem to shake. She thinks it sounds like she's teetering on the edge of the universe--and she's not that far from the truth. Isabelle's so distracted by the buzz that she gets sent to the principal's office, and then while awaiting her punishment, she tumbles into an adventure--into another world that's a little bit different, a little bit Hansel and Gretel-y, a little bit like a fairy tale.
