The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde
Featuring grammasites, holesmiths, trainee characters, pagerunners, baby dodos and an adopted home scheduled for demolition, this book presents an adventure and provides an insight into how books are made, who makes them - and why there is no singular for 'scampi'.
