The Unlikely Escape of Uriah HeepThe Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep

Charley Sutherland can bring characters from books into the real world. His older brother, Rob, hopes that this strange family secret will disappear with disuse, and he will be discharged from his life's duty of protecting Charley and this ability he can't really control. Then literary characters start causing trouble in their city, making threats about destroying the world... and for once, it isn't Charley's doing. Someone else who shares his powers. It's up to Charley and a reluctant Rob to stop them... before anyone gets to The End. -- adapted from jacket.
