Story Overview
This book tells the exciting story of Fern Drudger. Fern has a special power: she can shake things right out of books! But lately, only fizzy drinks have been appearing. These drinks carry secret messages from a group called the Nobodies.
Who are the Nobodies?
The Nobodies are people or animals who were shaken out of books. They haven't been able to go back home into their stories. The Nobodies are in big trouble. They believe Fern is the only one who can help them.
Camp for Anybodies
Fern is now with her real parents. She is sent to Camp Happy Sunshine Good Times. This camp is for young Anybodies. Anybodies are special people. They can change themselves or others into different objects. They do this using a power like hypnotism.
Secrets at Camp
At the camp, Fern meets Mary Stern. Mary is a counselor for the girls. But Fern soon learns that the counselors and the camp director have dangerous secrets. Camp Happy Sunshine Good Times has very strict rules. Fern accidentally breaks one of them.
Fern's Big Mission
Because of her punishment, Fern discovers her true destiny. She is meant to help the Nobodies. They are trapped by a giant, evil mole named BORT. BORT has trapped a family of Nobodies. They are stuck in a fizzy drink factory. This factory is hidden in a basement.
How to Stop BORT
BORT is a huge mole. He can only shrink down to a normal size when he touches water. Fern must find a way to get BORT to touch water. If she succeeds, she can bring peace to the "second earth" where the Nobodies live.
