Publisher's Summary:
The best-selling author of the Shatter Me series takes listeners beyond the limits of their imagination in this captivating new middle grade adventure where color is currency, adventure is inevitable, and friendship is found in the most unexpected places.
There are only three things that matter to 12-year-old Alice Alexis Queensmeadow: Mother, who wouldn't miss her; magic and color, which seem to elude her; and Father, who always loved her. The day Father disappeared from Ferenwood, he took nothing but a ruler with him. But it's been almost three years since then, and Alice is determined to find him. She loves her father even more than she loves adventure, and she's about to embark on one to find the other.
But bringing Father home is no small matter. In order to find him, she'll have to travel through the mythical, dangerous land of Furthermore, where down can be up, paper is alive, and left can be both right and very, very wrong. Her only companion is a boy named Oliver whose own magical ability is based in lies and deceit - and with a liar by her side in a land where nothing is as it seems, it will take all of Alice's wits (and every limb she's got) to find Father and return home to Ferenwood in one piece. On her quest to find Father, Alice must first find herself - and hold fast to the magic of love in the face of loss.

The narrator is pretty funny. He's my favorite. I think you should listen to this book all the characters are good. It has adventure , excitement, the land of left ,and father daughter love.
All the feels!
The whimsical tale was enjoyable, but for those who could use a family appreciation story, this is it... This is what you seek!
Just short of great
Imaginitive, lovely. Great imagery; the author must be a visual person. I almost put the book down because the main character was such a brat. Glad I stayed for the transformation.
Whimsical
Such a happy adventure to listen to. The writing was whimsical and the emotional growth that the characters experienced was a realistic treat to be a part of.
Whimsical work of art
This book was amazing! I had no idea what I was getting, I just knew I loved Mafi's other books, so I wanted to check this one out, too. Boy was I surprised! I didn't even realize it was Middle grade until I listened to it.
In this story, Alice, who is extremely different from anyone else in her world, get sucked into an adventure with the person she likes least: Oliver. Alice's father has been missing for three years and Oliver was supposed to have found him and bright him home.
