Together with her little brother Fred, Frankie can disappear to Thoughtopolis, a magical world inside her head filled with everything and anything Frankie could ever imagine. Thoughtopolis has always been a magical adventureland but when Frankie gets trapped inside, it stops being her fun refuge. In order to escape, Frankie must journey deep into the heart of Thoughtopolis and confront the secret buried deep inside - Frankie has been refusing to admit that Fred is no longer alive in the real world.

Age 11 and one-twelfth, Frankie has a BIG secret! Well, lots of secrets, actually: She has a brother called Fred who is the Best Invention Ever, and a baby sister called Flo who is her arch-nemesis. She has a dog named Blue who has GIANT eyeballs and tiny nostrils. Oh... And she's a teensy-weensy, squinchy bit MAGIC! Frankie has a world inside her head called THOUGHTOPOLIS - you just go through the eyeball, right at the skull, past the brain stuff, and then second door on the right! It's great fun, full of weird-and-wonderful places and creatures, and together, she, Fred and Blue go on adventures. Until one day, Frankie gets trapped, and has to uncover a secret hidden deep within if she is to get back to the Real World. But when the truth changes everything, will Frankie want to go back? HELP!
