The Wizard, the Witch, & Two Girls From Jersey, by Lisa Papademetriou (Razorbill, 2006)

Two girls – one a fantasy-loving bookworm, the other a spoiled airhead – are accidentally thrown into the pages of a popular fantasy novel, where their presence almost immediately throws the true plot into disarray. Now Veronica Lopez and Heather Simms must reluctantly work together as they try to keep the entire story from unraveling until they can find a way out. An enjoyable send-up of the traditional “epic fantasy quest” novel, though occasionally sillier than it needs to be. It makes for a nice chance of pace, however, and the title says it all.
