When she get home, she told her daughter Mia about the story and started reading it; a few pages in the story the Mother felt asleep and Mia decide to read the book however she suddenly grow smaller and smaller.
Mia started her adventures, made friends along the way as well while heading to a kingdom to get back home and avoiding the evil witch and h…
