## Plot by Chapter

### Chapter 7: From the Chronicles of a Cricket

Having fallen through the book to an alternate dimension, Juliette, Finn, William, Elizabeth, and Amanda find themselves along a dirt path surrounded by trees, in the Enchanted forest. They are unaware of where they are; they start arguing over how they ended up there and how they could possibly go back home. Their discussion is interrupted by a cavalcade of soldiers passing by, dressed in armors and holding shields with red apples painted on them. Once the situation is calm again, Juliette notices a poster hanging to a nearby tree.

The wanted fugitive's name is Robin Hood. This clue helps them to make the stunning realization that they are *inside of* the Chronicles of the Land of Three Thousand Fables.

They are startled by a taking cricket who is Jiminy Cricket- who asks if they need help. At first, the outlanders are skeptical and scared, but the sound of wolves howling and Jimmy's promise that he has no intention to harm them convinces them to follow him to his home in the forest, and are given a little bottle titled *drink me* on the front, and shrink to the size of him. Once they arrive, they find out that Froggy collected many of Alex's books when they fell into the The Land of Three Thousand Fables and that they are currently in the The Enchanted Forest. Jiminy tells them a part of his own story and shows them a map of all the kingdoms of the fairy-tale world.

He tells them about the Happily Forever Assembly and when he finds out the Outlanders are from the Land without Magic, he also tells them about the Wishing Spell, a spell which could transport them back to their own world. He then gives them a journal he found that was written by a man who described another world and gives directions on how to gather the items for the wishing spell.
