Summary
Darcy Bragg has lost her boyfriend and her job, and now she’s lost her car. Even worse, the beat-up Ford contained her son’s beloved "Lord of the Rings" annotated trilogy. So Darcy takes 10-year-old London to the nearest library to replace the book. But the library is strange and the librarian mysterious. “Our patrons don’t read the books, they LIVE them,” the librarian says as he wrings water out of his shirt. “Just don’t pick Jacques Cousteau.”
And so Darcy and London find themselves on the Road to Bree with three protein bars and the haziest of instructions. Darcy's ex-boyfriend bursts into the library minutes later, looking for her, and bullies the librarian into following Darcy and London. Those two end up in Minas Tirith, and although the librarian has never read the books, he's convinced that Boromir is the hero.
Darcy and London, meanwhile, are soon separated, each trying to travel to the trilogy’s end. London is living his greatest fantasy, while Darcy just bumbles her way south, impersonating a Nazgul and wrecking the plot by rescuing Boromir. The ex-boyfriend's efforts to locate them just make everything worse. Is a happy ending for Middle-Earth even possible anymore?
