''Imaginalis'' is a young adult fantasy novel written by author J.M. De Matteis, and serves as something of a SpiritualSuccessor to ComicBook/{{Abadazad}}. The origin of the book is rather interesting: After Abadazad was ScrewedByTheNetwork for a second time, De Matteis received an interesting idea; specifically, the idea of book characters being trapped in Limbo. One thing led to another, and ''Imaginalis'' was created.

Problems with the five man band. 1.) The Hero is not part of it. 2.) three are interchangable. 3.) too many members. 4.) the \'somewhat\'. Either Mehera fits or she doesn\'t. 5.) Hannibal Lecture is not \'villainous speech\' or general Breaking Speech. It is only used by captives

Life isn't that great for Mehera. Her [[MissingMom mother is dead]], leaving her father alone to raise her, and school doesn't help things at all. The only place for her to go, it seems, is into her favorite books. So it comes as a huge shock for her when she learns that the ''Imaginalis'' series has been cancelled. Mehera doesn't take this well, and does everything she can to save the series, even when no one else seems to care (her friend Celeste simply tells her to "Get over it").
One day, though, after a small argument with her father, Mehera is contacted by Uncle Nossys, one of the characters in the book. Soon, she finds herself with the heroes of her favorite story, trapped in a dark world known as Nolandia, and slowly fading into nonexistence. Their only hope is to follow Mehera to Earth, track down the series' author, and bring Imaginalis back before it is all lost. Unfortunately for them, Pralaya, the books' BigBad, has other plans...
