Pernahkah kau merasa ingin pergi dari dunia nyata? Saat kau terasingkan, dan orang-orang di sekitarmu tampak tak memedulikanmu, bahkan seakan membencimu? Elsa sering merasa demikian. Misalnya, saat teman-teman menghukumnya hanya karena tidak menyukai syal yang dikenakannya. Atau saat Elsa bicara jujur, mereka mencemoohnya. Sangat jelas mereka membenci Elsa. Itu semua karena Elsa berbeda dari anak lainnya. Elsa pernah bertanya, apakah menjadi berbeda itu salah? Nenek berkata bahwa menjadi berebda itu bagus, dan teman-temannya saja yang bodoh. Lalu Nenek berkisah tentang dunia yang berisi pahlawan dan makhluk negeri dongeng. Negeri istimewa yang hanya bisa dikunjungi anak-anak istimewa. Semenjak itu, Elsa sering pergi ke negeri dongeng kapan pun dia mau, bersama Nenek tentunya. Sampai suatu saat, Nenek tak bisa lagi menemani. Nenek harus pergi, sangat jauh, sendiri. Sebagai permintaan terakhir, Nenek mengirim Elsa untuk menjalani sebuah misi. Misi khusus yang hanya sanggup dijalankan oleh Elsa dan kelak bisa mengubah jalan hidup siapa pun yang terlibat di dalamnya. [Mizan, Noura Books, Novel, Fiksi, Terjemahan, Indonesia]
