When her parents go on vacation in Scotland, bookworm Jane Reid is sent to visit her aunt and uncle Hildreth. But she arrives to find that she and her father have switched suitcases, and she is stranded with no books! Her aunt and uncle are nice enough, but the only book in their house is the telephone directory. And their town has no bookstore or library. But on her first night at the Hildreths', Jane discovers a small book with a faded cover on her nightstand. In the morning, it is gone. The next night, another book appears. Jane seems to have a mysterious friend who knows just what she needs. . .
