Leo and the Crazy Genre Hotel

Fourteen-year-old Leo thought he was signing up for an ordinary summer job at Magnolia House Hotel. But he quickly discovers this isn’t your average inn—it’s a secret sanctuary for characters who’ve fled their own broken storylines. From detectives to princesses to mysterious visitors from realms of starlight and magic, the guests arrive desperate to rewrite their fates.

When Leo stumbles upon a hidden book club beneath the lobby, he realizes he might hold the key to saving the hotel from a ruthless corporate takeover. Now, armed only with his creativity and a few wild ideas, Leo must help his new friends—and himself—find a story worth fighting for.
