London, Ontario, Canada - October 16, 2008: Book By You^® today announced the release of its latest full-length personalized children's novel, The Enchanted Carpet. This Book By You^® novel is the company's sixteenth personalized title and is the sixth offering for the company's Kids Book By You division, the first publishing venture in the world to offer full-length personalized novels.

The excitement begins when two personalized lead characters (accompanied by a favorite adult and their beloved pet) vacation in an ancient castle, where breathless excitement awaits within its secret passageways.

The two children come across a young girl who claims she's a princess and introduces them to an enchanted ring.  Promptly the mischievous duo take advantage of the ring's special powers in hopes of uncovering the puzzle behind its unpredictable magic. While slipping invisibly through the castle, pulling lighthearted pranks on each other, discovering statues that come to life by moonlight, and even foiling a burglary, the children realize that in this remarkable castle, magic and the promise of adventure seem to sparkle in every corner.  But when our duo discover that this unique, historic castle is destined to be destroyed, our heroes leap into action using their imagination, wit, and compassion to save the castle. The children soon learn that the true magic springs from the strength of loyalty, friendship and love. 

This fresh, funny personalized novel is written for ages 6 - 12, and is ideal for parents who want to motivate their children to read full-length books.
