Twilight Sparkle, Age 16, was the stereotypical bookworm girl. She spent all her time studying, and frankly found little need to spend time with other people. What could be learned from people that couldn't be learned in books?

But when her life is nearly brought to a close, she learns that there is more to learn about herself and the world that books can give. And she must learn these lessons fast, or else all the world is doomed.
