Now in paperback, seeing is believing—unless, of course, you don’t know who the real witch is, or if there is a witch at all!

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. Which would be great, but since she shows up in fairy-tale land wearing her favorite high, pointy boots, the fairy-tale people start thinking that Isabelle is a witch—and not just any witch, but the witch!
From Edgar Award-winning author Frances O’Roark Dowell comes the unlikely story of Isabelle Bean—an ultimate misfit, an outsider extraordinaire, and not a witch!

From the Author:
What inspired you to write Falling In? Frances: I think probably one of the most common kid fantasies around is the one about stumbling onto a hidden world. Everyone loves the beginning of The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis for that very reason. A few years ago I decided I wanted to write a book about a girl who discovers a school beneath her school (I thought this up while dropping my son off at his school on a rainy day, the exact right sort of day for imagining such a thing). Thus, Isabelle Bean was born. It took me a long time to figure out the story. I'm not much of a fantasy reader (though I love The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander), so it took me a long to figure out the rules. For instance, when you fall into a whole new world, what's happening in the world you left? Does anybody know you're gone? Does time stop when you're away? I loved writing Falling In because it was so different from other books I've written. Because it wasn't a first-person narrative, I could play around more with the narration and the language--I didn't have to "stay in character." Will I write another book like Falling In? I don't know yet. Stay tuned!
