The Impossible (book)

The Impossible is a 2013 young adult fantasy novel written by Lizzie Pook. It is the first book in a planned trilogy, though subsequent books have not yet been published.

The story follows the young protagonist, a girl named Alice, who discovers a hidden world through a secret door in her attic. This world, described as fantastical and dangerous, presents Alice with challenges and opportunities she could never have imagined in her ordinary life. The novel explores themes of family, courage, and self-discovery within the context of a magical setting. While specific plot details are scarce to prevent spoilers, the book generally receives positive feedback for its imaginative world-building and engaging protagonist. The novel's target audience is primarily young adult readers, but its themes of self-belief and overcoming adversity have a wider appeal. Further details about the plot, characters, and reception are limited due to the relative obscurity of the book.
